Extract
Hermite, in 1864 (Comptes Rendus, vol. 58) introduced into analysis the polynomials defined by the relation
where n is a positive integer. He showed that they satisfied the differential equation
that they were orthogonal functions, and that an arbitrary function f(x) could be expanded in the form
