Hermite was a Roman Catholic from childhood agnostic all of his adult life until the point where he contracted smallpox. It was during this time that Cauchy met with him a fellow catholic mathematician. He subsequently returned to the faith of his childhood.
this can be seen in the link provided at the bottom of the article the genealogy project.
Whether or not the article explicitly mentions that he was Christian is irrelevant. It is true, and thus hermite should be placed in the category.
I do fully support an expanding of this article though because Hermite is easily one of the most influential mathematicians of all time. unsigned post by ip editor
- Hello. If you look at the category page [1] it is written on the first line that This is a category for mathematicians who identify as Christian and whose Christianity is relevant to their notability or historical significance.. It does not seem that this is the case for Hermite. S Sepp 13:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
