  Emil Artin
Emil Artin (March 3, 1898-December 20, 1962) was an mathematician born in Vienna, Austria who spent his career in Germany (mainly in Hamburg) until the Nazi threat when he emigrated to the USA in 1937 where he was at Princeton University 1946-1958.
The first concerns Artin's L-function for a linear representation of a Galois group; and the second the frequency with which a given integer a is a primitive root modulo primes p, when a is fixed and p varies.
Emil Artin died in 1962, in Hamburg, Germany.

 Artin biography
Artin's childhood was not a particularly happy one and he recounted later in his life how he had felt lonely.
Artin himself proved that when O is the field of algebraic numbers, the subfield K of real algebraic numbers solves the problem and, moreover, it is the unique solution up to automorphisms of the field O.
Artin and Schreier published in their famous 1926 paper their studies of all formally real fields and real closed fields, showing that a specific ordering could be defined on them.

Emil Artin loved special functions and explicit computations, and he relished Pólya and Szegö's "Aufgaben und Lehrsätze," though his lectures were the negation of any anecdotal style.
To Emil Artin, axiomatics was a useful technique for disclosing hidden analogies (for example, the analogy between algebraic curves and algebraic number fields, and the analogy between the Riemannian hypothesis and the analogous hypothesis for infinite function fields, first explored in Emil Artin's thesis and later generalized into the "Weil conjectures").
Emil Artin's mannerisms have been carried far and wide by his students and his students' students, and are now an everyday occurrence (whose origin will soon be forgotten) whenever an algebra course is taught.

Artin further conjectured that these L-functions should be holomorphic away from 1.
One important special case of Artin's conjecture can be reformulated as describing a correspondence between weight one cuspidal modular forms which are eigenforms for the Hecke operators, and two-dimensional odd irreducible complex representations of the absolute Galois group of the rationals.
In this form the conjecture, often known as the `Strong Artin conjecture', stands as one of two notable classical cases of the Langlands conjectures for number fields; the modularity of elliptic curves over the rationals is the other.

Born into a family that appreciated the arts (his father was an art dealer and his mother an opera singer), he held an interest in music throughout his life, and was proficient in the flute, harpsichord, and clavichord.
During his years in primary and secondary school, Artin’s performance in mathematics was not in any way indicative of his potential.
Artin studied algebra and number theory at the University of Leipzig, and went on to make fundamental contributions in the areas of Ring theory, Field theory, and Algebraic Number theory.

However under the inspiration of his teachers Emil Artin and Erich Hecke, his interests shifted to mathematics.
[2]), written under Artin's supervision, he classified 3-fold transitive permutation groups whose elements are determined by their resrtictions to three points.
In 1936 he was appointed Artin's assistant at Hamburg, where he remained for the next four years, despite the ouster of Artin by the Nazis.

 The Origins of Modern Algebra
Although mathematicians are often fairly scrupulous in giving credit to the original discoverers of theorems, they also are energetic in restating these theorems in terms of concepts which the original discoverers would have been completely unfamiliar with.
When Emil Artin taught Galois Theory, he did apparently discuss Galois's own approach.
He tells an anecdote to the effect that he asked one of his classes how much of his book on the subject Galois himself would have recognized, and one of his students suggested that probably the title would have been the only recognizable thing in the whole book.

Emil Artin reformulated these results as saying that the L-functions associated to 1-dimensional complex Galois representations had analytic continuation apart from well-understood poles and conjectured that the same should be true for n-dimensional complex Galois representations.
This conjecture could now be regarded as a precursor to the Langlands programme.
This talk will be for non-experts; I will spend about half the talk defining complex Galois representations and their L-functions, and the other half giving statements of results and sometimes indications of proofs.

As part of his study of finite-dimensional complex representations of certain finite Galois groups, Emil Artin in 1923 showed how to associate to each such representation a differentiable complex function, defined on the half-plane Re(z)>1.
He conjectured that in many cases these functions should have an analytic continuation to the whole complex plane.
