	Ferdinand von Lindemann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carl Louis Ferdinand von Lindemann (April 12, 1852 - March 6, 1939) was a German mathematician, noted for his proof, published in 1882, that π is a transcendental number, i.e., it is not a zero of any polynomial with rational coefficients.
		His father, Ferdinand Lindemann, taught modern languages at a Gymnasium in Hanover.
		Before the publication of Lindemann's proof, it was known that if π is transcendental, then the ancient and celebrated problem of squaring the circle by straightedge and compass could not be solved.

		Lindemann was born in Hanover, Germany, on April 12, 1852.
		Lindemann's proof that was transcendental, and hence unconstructible, finally established unequivocally that the squaring of the circle was impossible by means of straightedge and compass alone.
		During his years in Munich, Lindemann served as dean of the arts and sciences, as rector of the university (an elected position comparable to that of president), and for 25 years as the director of the university's administrative committee.
