View seven larger pictures. Biography. Lejeune Dirichlet's family came from the Belgium town of Richelet where Dirichlet's grandfather lived.
Johann Peter Gustave Lejeune Dirichlet. 1805-1859. German Mathematician. L ejeune Dirichlet was a professor at the University of Berlin prior to accepting a chair—previously held by Carl Gauss (1777-1855)—at the University of Göttingen.
Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was a German mathematician known for his invaluable contributions to number theory. He is credited with the creation of the field of analytic number theory and was one of the earliest mathematicians to give the modern formal definition of a function.
The great nineteenth-century mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (1805–59) studied in Paris, coming under the influence of scholars including Fourier and Legendre. He then taught at Berlin and Göttingen universities, where he was the successor to Gauss and mentor to Riemann and Dedekind.
Dirichlet was the first mathematician who systematically studied rings of al gebraic numbers with the goal to generalize the unique decomposition of natural numbers as products of primes.
