Naum Il'ich Feldman (26 November 1918 – 20 April 1994) was a Soviet mathematician who specialized in number theory.
He entered in 1936 the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics at the University of Leningrad where he specialized in number theory under the supervision of Rodion O. Kuzmin.
After his graduation in 1941, Feldman was called up by the army and served from October 1941 until the end of the World war II.
[1] After his demobilization, he started his PhD in 1946 at the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Moscow, under the supervision of Alexander O. Gelfond, and he presented his Ph.D. thesis in 1949.
[8] In 1899, French mathematician Émile Borel strengthened the famous theorem of Charles Hermite that proved in 1873 the transcendence of the number e without having been specifically constructed for this purpose.
