Ferdinand Lindemann.
From Wikipedia: "In 1882, German mathematician Ferdinand von Lindemann proved that π is transcendental, confirming a conjecture made by both Legendre and Euler"
Hermite proved that "e" is transcendental, but it was Ferdinand Lindemann who proved that "pi" is transcendental.
Carl Louis Ferdinand von Lindemann proved in 1882 that pi is transcendental.
He proved that e, the base of natural logarithms is transcendental. From this, it follows that pi is also transcendental.
A transcendental number is a number that is not only irrational, but is also no solution of any algebraic equation. Lindemann proved in the 19th century that pi is transcendental, which means there is no solution to the problem of the quadrature of the circle.Ans 2. A transcendental number is one that is not the root of any algebraic equation with rational coefficientsand can not be exactly calculated by a finite number of algebraic operations.

Ferdinand von Lindemann proved, in 1882, that pi was transcendental.
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician who proved the Pythagorean theorem; considered to be the first true mathematician (circa 580-500 BC)
No.Carl Gauss, the German mathematician, proved that a circle could be divided into n equal parts if n could be expressed as a power of 2, multiplied by Fermat primes.Refinements:It must be a non-negative integer power of 2.There could be 0 Fermat primes in the product. In fact, there are only 5 known Fermat primes: 3, 5, 17, 257 and 65537.More recently Pierre Wantzel, the French mathematician, proved that if the number could not be expressed in this fashion, then it was not possible to construct the polygon using a compass and straight edge.
The fundamental theorem of algebra was proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1799. His proof demonstrated that every polynomial equation with complex coefficients has at least one complex root. This theorem laid the foundation for the study of complex analysis and was a significant contribution to mathematics.
