Synopsis
Maxime Bôcher (1867 – 1918) was an American mathematician who published about 100 papers on differential equations, series, and algebra. He also wrote elementary texts such as Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry. Bôcher's theorem, Bôcher's equation, and the Bôcher Memorial Prize are named after him.Bôcher's theorem states that the finite zeros of the derivative r'(z) of a nonconstant rational function r(z) that are not multiple zeros of r(z) are the positions of equilibrium in the field of force due to particles of positive mass at the zeros of r(z) and particles of negative mass at the poles of r(z), with masses numerically equal to the respective multiplicities, where each particle repels with a force equal to the mass times the inverse distance. He wrote Introduction to Higher Algebra (1907) and Introduction to the Study of Integral Equations (1909). He was one of the editors of the Annals of Mathematics, of the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, and collaborator on the Encyclopädie der mathematischen Wissenschaften. His final book was Leçons sur les méthodes de Sturm dans la théorie des équations différentielles linéaires et leurs développements modernes (circa 1917). Bôcher was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents were Caroline Little and Ferdinand Bôcher. Maxime's father was professor of modern languages at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when Maxime was born, and became Professor of French at Harvard in 1872.He received an excellent education from his parents and from a number of public and private schools in Massachusetts. He graduated from the Cambridge Latin School in 1883. He received his first degree from Harvard in 1888. At Harvard, he studied a wide range of topics, including mathematics, Latin, chemistry, philosophy, zoology, geography, geology, meteorology, Roman art, and music.
