Alexander Gelfond (1906-1968) was a prominent Soviet mathematician known for his work in number theory and transcendental numbers. He is particularly renowned for Gelfond's theorem, which proved that if \\( a \\) is a transcendent number and \\( b \\) is an algebraic number that is not equal to 0 or 1, then \\( a^b \\) is also a transcendental number.
