  Hermite biography
Hermite may have still been an undergraduate but it is likely that his ideas from around 1843 helped Liouville to his important 1844 results which include the result now known as Liouville's theorem.
Hermite's great love was for analysis and, not surprisingly, he had a great respect for Weierstrass.
Hermite used to observe [that biology] may be a most useful study even for mathematicians, as hidden and eventually fruitful analogies may appear between processes in both kinds of studies.

 Peary (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peary is the closest large crater to the lunar north pole.
From the Earth the crater appears on the northern lunar limb, and is seen from the side.
The worn and lava-flooded crater Byrd lies close to the southern rim of Peary.

 Sylvester (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sylvester is a lunar impact crater that is located near the north pole of the Moon, along the northern limb in the libration zone.
It lies just to the south-southeast of the Hermite crater, which is within one crater diameter of the pole.
This crater is generally circular, with a sharp-edged rim that has only received a moderate amount of wear.

Models of neutron emission from assumed water-ice deposits that filled the largest three craters in the neighborhood of the south pole showed that the Lunar Prospector, (LP), measurements were consistent with a water-ice abundance of 1.5±0.8% by mass.
Choosing a crater diameter of D=30 km (which is characteristic of the three prominent permanently-shaded craters near the lunar south pole [Margot et al., 1999]), the crater depth, d, can be estimated using the data in Table 4.1 of Hörz et al.
For craters having diameters less than 15 km, d/D=0.2, the reduction factor is 0.0066, and contributions from the magnetosheath should be negligible.

 The Grail Under the Double Rainbow, Part Nine
Outside of this crater there is a hint of pentagonal geometry, but inside there is very clearly a conjuction of a square within a triangle connected to a half circle, and perhaps yet another geometry, a possible circle.
The doubling of the edges is reminiscent of the "double-rainbow" motif that this work suggests may pertain to modes of interplanetary travel by means of "scalar teleportation", and the pentagon that conveniently sits at the juncture of the striated bands on the left side may be more eerie corroboration.
The "feathered" craters remind me of what NASA is trying to pass off as "clearly not a face" from Cydonia, even though Bruce Cornet has matched the Cydonia face identically to a small sphinx form of Hatshepsut, and they may prove to be artificial, or at least in part, here as well.

Suggestions of lunar ice first came in 1996 when radio data from the Clementine spacecraft gave some indications of the presence of ice on the wall of a crater at the moon's south pole.
The Arecibo radar probed the floors of two craters in permanent shadow at the lunar south pole, Shoemaker and Faustini, and, at the north pole, the floors of Hermite and several small craters within the large crater Peary.
In contrast, Clementine focused on the sloping walls of Shackleton crater, whose floor can't be "seen" from Earth.

Charles Hermite (Dieuze, Francia, 24 de diciembre de 1822 - París, 14 de enero de 1901) fue un Matemático francés que investigó en el campo de la teoría de números, sobre las formas cuadráticas, polinomios ortogonales y funciones elípticas, y en el álgebra.
Charles Hermite entró a formar parte de la Academia de Ciencias Francesa en 1856 en sustitución de Jacques Binet, y pasó a presidirla en 1890.
Hermite also worked on solutions of differential equations, and matrix conjugates.

 Lost in a Northern Libration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Please drop me a line if you have an opinion on what this crater was, or any other comments...
Past Hayn, the prominent pair of craters must be Petermann and Cusanus, and the next major dark indentation in the limb must be Nansen.
But the crater in question was well past these, and following libration chart II and comparing distances and sizes made me think that the large crater on the limb was not actually Byrd and Peary, at the north pole, but actually past the pole, perhaps Hermite?

 No ice cap in lunar poles - Deccan Herald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The hypothesis that there might be lunar ice in its polarities was made in 1996 when the Clementine spacecraft generated some radio data indicating the possibility of ice cap on the wall of a crater at the moon's south pole.
Clementine in 1998 focused on the sloping walls of Shackleton crater, whose floor could not be ‘seen’ from Earth.
“We find that areas of the crater floors at the poles that are in permanent shadow from the Sun, which are potential cold traps for water or other volatiles, do not give rise to strong radar echoes like those associated with thick ice deposits in the polar craters on Mercury.

They find that the concentrations of hydrogen -- and thus presumably of ice -- are confined to a limited number of areas near the poles, rather than spread out evenly over relatively large polar regions as first thought.
The strongest indications come from poleward-facing rims of the craters Peary, Hermite, Rozhdestvenskiy, and Plaskett in the north and within the giant South Pole-Aitken basin in the south.
Some crater floors near the lunar north pole lie in permanent shadow and likely contain deposits of water ice.
