Lazarus Fuchs
Scientist
Lazarus Immanuel Fuchs (5 May 1833 – 26 April 1902) was a German mathematician who contributed important research in the field of linear differential equations. He was born in Mosina and died in Berlin, Germany. He is the eponym of Fuchsian groups and functions, and the Picard–Fuchs equation; Fuchsian differential equations are those with regular singularities. Fuchs is also known for Fuchs's theorem which states that if x0 is a regular singular point then the differential equation has at least one solution of the form for some σ to be determined. In some cases, there will be two linearly independent solutions of that form.
