One theorem named for this man states that the group of units of a ring is finitely generated, and one function named for this man has a pole at s=1 if chi is a principal character. Another theorem named for this man states that there are an infinite number of rational numbers p over q within one over q squared of any given irrational number, a result known as his diophantine approximation theorem. His namesake statistical distribution is the conjugate prior of the multinomial distribution, and his original proof of his namesake theorem on arithmetic progressions of primes used his L-functions, which are also used to generalize the Riemann hypothesis. He gives his name to values that solutions of a partial differential equation, but not their derivatives, must take on a border, known as his namesake boundary conditions. For 10 points, name this French mathematician who also lends his name to the pigeonhole principle.
