Eisenstein
Montage theory pioneer
Eisenstein typically refers to Sergei Eisenstein (1898–1948), the Soviet filmmaker who revolutionized cinema through montage theory—the idea that meaning emerges from the collision of images rather than their sequence.
His films *Battleship Potemkin* and *October* remain touchstones of film studies.
In mathematics, Eisenstein refers to concepts named after German mathematician Gotthold Eisenstein: Eisenstein integers, Eisenstein's criterion.
