 EZGeography - Ferdinand von Lindemann
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.
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.
While a professor at the University of Königsberg, Lindemann acted as supervisor for the doctoral thesis of David Hilbert.

The theorem of Siegel and Shidlovsky, which generalizes the Lindemann - Weierstrass theorem, then asserts that the numbers $f_1(b),..., f_n(b)$ are algebraically independent over $Q$.
Although based on deep results from the arithmetic theory of differential equations, its principle is remarkably simple.
By a Fourier transformation, one deduces from the Katz-Honda theory in characteristic p, Chudnovsky's theorem on $G$-operators, and Andre's theorem on their p-adic radii of convergence, that the minimal differential operator annihilating an $E$-function $F$ has large exponents at any algebraic zero of large order of $F$.

Any nonzero algebraic number α gives us a set {α} which is trivially a linearly independent set over the rationals, and hence eα is immediately seen to be transcendental.
I also understand the urge to condense everything to be elegant, but I think expressing things out explicitly in terms of linear combinations is still helpful for people who might not be able to immediately mentally untangle "linearly independent" or "algebraically independent".
