Lambert - Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728 - 1777) - In a memoir in 1768 on transcendental magnitudes he proved that pi is incommensurable.
Lanczos - Cornelius Lanczos (1893-1974) - Home page of the Cornelius Lanczos Collected Published Papers with Commentaries.
Lebesgue - Henri Léon Lebesgue (1875-1941) - Formulated the theory of measure in 1901 and in 1902 gave the definition of the Lebesgue integral.
Legendre - Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752-1833) - His major work on elliptic integrals provided basic analytical tools for mathematical physics, in 1782 he determined attractive force by introducing an infinite series of polynomials Pn now called Legendre polynomials.
Lie - Sophus Lie (1842-1899) - His study of contact transformations arising from partial differential equations led him to develop Lie groups. This is now a central part of 20th-century mathematics, important in quantum theory.
Lipschitz - Rudolf Otto Sigismund Lipschitz (1832-1903) - Worked on quadratic differential forms and mechanics. His work on the Hamilton-Jacobi method for integrating the equations of motion of a general dynamical system led to important applications in celestial mechanics.
Lockshin - Jeffrey Lockshin's Olympiad Math Madness - Collection of mathematical problems, invented for mathematical olympiads the world over, and many of them are hard to find in English.
