The German mathematician Ferdinand von Lindemann.
Charles Hermite was the 19th century French mathematician who developed the method to prove that pi is a transcendental number.
Charles Hermite, 1822-1901, was the French mathematician who laid the foundation for German mathematician Ferdinand Lindemann to prove that pi is a transcendental number.
From Wikipedia: "In 1882, German mathematician Ferdinand von Lindemann proved that π is transcendental, confirming a conjecture made by both Legendre and Euler"
Since pi is transcendental, pi2 is also transcendental. So pi is the square root of the transcendental number pi2.
Hermite proved that "e" is transcendental, but it was Ferdinand Lindemann who proved that "pi" is transcendental.
