Felix Klein
Christian Felix Klein (; 25 April 1849 – 22 June 1925) was a German mathematician and mathematics educator, known for his work with group theory, complex analysis, non-Euclidean geometry, and on the associations between geometry and group theory. His 1872 Erlangen program, classifying geometries by their basic symmetry groups, was an influential synthesis of much of the mathematics of the time. Life Felix Klein was born on 25 April 1849 in Düsseldorf, to Prussian parents. His father, Caspar Klein (1809–1889), was a Prussian government official's secretary stationed in the Rhine Province. His mother was Sophie Elise Klein (1819–1890, née Kayser). He attended the Gymnasium in Düsseldorf, then studied mathematics and physics at the University of Bonn, 1865–1866, intending to become a physicist. At that time, Julius Plücker had Bonn's professorship of mathematics and experimental physics, but by the time Klein became his assistant, in 1866, Plücker's interest wa ...

University Of Giessen Alumni
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university i ...

19th-century German Mathematicians
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the large S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1842 Births
__NOTOC__ Year 184 ( CLXXXIV) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Eggius and Aelianus (or, less frequently, year 937 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 184 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Discriminant Of An Algebraic Number Field
In mathematics, the discriminant of an algebraic number field is a numerical invariant that, loosely speaking, measures the size of the (ring of integers of the) algebraic number field. More specifically, it is proportional to the squared volume of the fundamental domain of the ring of integers, and it regulates which primes are ramified. The discriminant is one of the most basic invariants of a number field, and occurs in several important analytic formulas such as the functional equation of the Dedekind zeta function of ''K'', and the analytic class number formula for ''K''. A theorem of Hermite states that there are only finitely many number fields of bounded discriminant, however determining this quantity is still an open problem, and the subject of current research. The discriminant of ''K'' can be referred to as the absolute discriminant of ''K'' to distinguish it from the relative discriminant of an extension ''K''/''L'' of number fields. The latter is an ideal in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chasles–Cayley–Brill Formula
In algebraic geometry, the Chasles–Cayley–Brill formula, also known as the Cayley–Brill formula, states that a correspondence ''T'' of valence ''k'' from an algebraic curve ''C'' of genus ''g'' to itself has ''d'' + ''e'' + 2''kg'' united points, where ''d'' and ''e'' are the degrees of ''T'' and its inverse. Michel Chasles introduced the formula for genus ''g'' = 0, Arthur Cayley stated the general formula without proof, and Alexander von Brill Alexander Wilhelm von Brill (20 September 1842 – 18 June 1935) was a German mathematician. Born in Darmstadt, Hesse, Brill was educated at the University of Giessen, where he earned his doctorate under supervision of Alfred Clebsch. He held a c ... gave the first proof. The number of united points of the correspondence is the intersection number of the correspondence with the diagonal Δ of ''C''×''C''. The correspondence has valence ''k'' if and only if it is homologous to a linear combinati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brill–Noether Theory
In algebraic geometry, Brill–Noether theory, introduced by , is the study of special divisors, certain divisors on a curve that determine more compatible functions than would be predicted. In classical language, special divisors move on the curve in a "larger than expected" linear system of divisors. Throughout, we consider a projective smooth curve over the complex numbers (or over some other algebraically closed field). The condition to be a special divisor can be formulated in sheaf cohomology terms, as the non-vanishing of the cohomology of the sheaf of sections of the invertible sheaf or line bundle associated to . This means that, by the Riemann–Roch theorem, the cohomology or space of holomorphic sections is larger than expected. Alternatively, by Serre duality, the condition is that there exist holomorphic differentials with divisor on the curve. Main theorems of Brill–Noether theory For a given genus , the moduli space for curves of genus should contain a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Max Noether
Max Noether (24 September 1844 – 13 December 1921) was a German mathematician who worked on algebraic geometry and the theory of algebraic functions. He has been called "one of the finest mathematicians of the nineteenth century". He was the father of Emmy Noether. Biography Max Noether was born in Mannheim in 1844, to a Jewish family of wealthy wholesale hardware dealers. His grandfather, Elias Samuel, had started the business in Bruchsal in 1797. In 1809 the Grand Duchy of Baden established a "Tolerance Edict", which assigned a hereditary surname to the male head of every Jewish family which did not already possess one. Thus the Samuels became the Noether family, and as part of this Christianization of names, their son Hertz (Max's father) became Hermann. Max was the third of five children Hermann had with his wife Amalia Würzburger. At 14, Max contracted polio and was afflicted by its effects for the rest of his life. Through self-study, he learned advanced mathematics ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
