  Olinde Rodrigues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benjamin Olinde Rodrigues (1794 - 1851), more commonly known as Olinde Rodrigues, was a French mathematician and social reformer.
Rodrigues was born into a well-to-do Jewish family in Bordeaux.
Rodrigues was awarded a doctorate in mathematics in 1816.

Rodrigues was born at Bordeaux on 16 October 1794, the son of a distinguished Jewish family, bankers settled there for several generations.
Rodrigues even studied infinitesimal rotations in the 1840 paper, thus anticipating by almost half a century results on the theory of continuous groups.
Despite the undoubted significance of Rodrigues both as a mathematician and as a social reformer, so much was he neglected that even the date of his death has long been surrounded by confusion, different authorities quoting 26 December 1850 or 17 December 1851; incontrovertible evidence has been found for the second date.

 Rodrigues biography
Rodrigues was born into a Jewish family which was almost certainly of Portuguese origin (although some claim that the family were of Spanish origin).
Rodrigues was awarded a doctorate in mathematics from the École Normale in 1816 for a thesis that contains one of the two results for which he is known today, namely the Rodrigues formula for Legendre polynomials.
Really Rodrigues was remarkably poorly appreciated by his contemporaries both as a mathematician, where he showed remarkable intuition in studying important problems, and as a social reformer where many of his views have at last become the accepted ones.

 IOL: Fingerprint evidence unsettles Dina defence
Rodrigues and her co-accused, Zanethemba Gwada, Sipho Mfazwe, Mongezi Bobotyane and a 16-year-old youth, have pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated theft, and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Rodrigues pleaded not guilty to an additional charge of intimidation over allegedly sending threatening SMSes to Neil Wilson, her former boyfriend and Jordan's biological father.
Bester and Simon found themselves at cross purposes during cross-examination when it became clear Simon had misheard him saying there were no "inexplicable differences" in the comparisons between the prints on the waybill, and those taken officially from the two accused Simon is representing.

Olinde Rodrigues (1794-1851) was born in France, but his Portuguese Jewish ancestry denied him access to the École Polytechnique, avenue to mainstream French mathematics.
Partly as a result of this approach, rotations are then parametrized by means of the familiar Euler angles, which suffer from three defects: they are not always unique, they are very cumbersome to determine in the finite rotation groups (point groups), and they do not provide a scheme for the multiplication of rotations.
Rodrigues became the patron and financial supporter of Count Louis Saint-Simon (1760-1825), founder of French Socialism.

Cross-examination by Charles Simon, for Rodrigues's four co-accused, did little or nothing in the Cape High Court yesterday afternoon to shake the evidence presented by the calm and confident fingerprint expert for the State, Inspector Jan Bester.

This was the first time in the 11-day trial that Rodrigues has been inextricably linked to at least two of her co-accused.

Fortunately for him he made the acquaintance of the Jew Olinde Rodrigues who became enamoured of his social ideas and assured him his daily bread till the end of his life.
Enfantin assumed the rôle of pope; Bazard and later Rodrigues separated from him when preaching the rehabilitation of the flesh, he wished to associate with him the "priest-woman", the "mother", in the government of Saint Simonism.
