Hermann Grassmann (1809–1877) was a German philosopher, mathematician, and linguist, best known for his contributions to the fields of mathematics and linguistics, particularly for developing concepts related to vector spaces and linear algebra. His most notable work is the "Die Lineale Ausdehnungslehre" (Theory of Linear Extension), published in 1844, where he introduced what is now known as Grassmann algebra.
