20 de mar. de 2024 · Johann Heinrich Lambert (born August 26, 1728, Mülhausen, Alsace—died September 25, 1777, Berlin, Prussia [Germany]) was a Swiss German mathematician, astronomer, physicist, and philosopher who provided the first rigorous proof that π (the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter) is irrational, meaning that it cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers.
In the 1760s, Johann Heinrich Lambert was the first to prove that the number π is irrational, meaning it cannot be expressed as a fraction , where and are both integers. In the 19th century, Charles Hermite found a proof that requires no prerequisite knowledge beyond basic calculus.

Johann Heinrich Lambert, a Swiss-German scholar, was counted among the most famous men of his time. Being an autodidact and without formal university studies, he won access to the modern sciences, in particular to philosophy, mathematics, astronomy and physics; and indeed he was most successful in all these fields. In the area of mathematics, for example, he made contributions to the theory of ...
