Eisenstein, Ferdinand Gotthold Max

Description “In a footnote to a short early paper (1844), G. Eisenstein gave an `analytic solution' of the general quintic equation. We discuss this remark in relation to the well-known work of Hermite (1858) and Kronecker (1861). We also discuss Eisenstein's solution from the point of view of Riemannian function theory.”
