Gotthold Eisenstein worked on a variety of topics including quadratic and cubic forms, the reciprocity theorem for cubic residues, quadratic partition of prime numbers and reciprocity laws. He was born in Berlin on 16 April 1823, suffered bad health throughout his life, and died in Berlin on 11 October 1852, aged twenty-nine. The numbers of the form a plus b omega, where omega is a complex cube root of unity, are named for him as the Eisenstein integers, and so is the Eisenstein criterion on irreducible polynomials.
