Edmund Landau (1877–1938) was a prominent German mathematician known for his contributions to number theory and mathematical analysis. He was particularly influential in the field of analytic number theory, where he made significant strides in understanding prime numbers and their distributions. One of his notable contributions is the development of the Landau notation (often referred to as "big O notation"), which is used to describe the asymptotic behavior of functions.
