Jørgen Pedersen Gram
Jørgen Pedersen Gram (27 June 1850 – 29 April 1916) was a Danish actuary and mathematician who was born in Nustrup, Duchy of Schleswig, Denmark and died in Copenhagen, Denmark. Important papers of his include ''On series expansions determined by the methods of least squares'', and ''Investigations of the number of primes less than a given number''. The mathematical method that bears his name, the Gram–Schmidt process, was first published in the former paper, in 1883. For number theorists his main fame is the series for the Riemann zeta function (the leading function in Riemann's exact prime-counting function). Instead of using a series of logarithmic integrals, Gram's function uses logarithm powers and the zeta function of positive integers. It has recently been supplanted by a formula of Ramanujan that uses the Bernoulli numbers directly instead of the zeta function. In control theory, the Gramian or Gram matrix is an important contribution named after him. The C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
