Theodor Möbius
Theodor Möbius (June 22, 1821 Leipzig - April 25, 1890) was a German philologist who specialized in Germanic studies. Biography He was a son of German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius. He studied at the Universities of Leipzig (1840–42) and Berlin (1842-43), receiving his doctorate in 1844 at Leipzig. From 1845 to 1861, he was an assistant, then later curator, at the university library. He earned his habilitation at Leipzig in 1852 with the thesis ''Über die ältere isländische Saga'', and in 1859 became a professor of Scandinavian languages and literature there. In 1865, he accepted a similar position at Kiel. He edited many old Norse works.

Möbius Ladder
In graph theory, the Möbius ladder , for even numbers , is formed from an by adding edges (called "rungs") connecting opposite pairs of vertices in the cycle. It is a cubic, circulant graph, so-named because (with the exception of (the utility graph ), has exactly four-cycles which link together by their shared edges to form a topological Möbius strip. Möbius ladders were named and first studied by . Properties For every even , the Möbius ladder is a nonplanar apex graph, meaning that it cannot be drawn without crossings in the plane but removing one vertex allows the remaining graph to be drawn without crossings. These graphs have crossing number one, and can be embedded without crossings on a torus or projective plane. Thus, they are examples of toroidal graphs. explores embeddings of these graphs onto higher genus surfaces. Möbius ladders are vertex-transitive – they have symmetries taking any vertex to any other vertex – but (with the exceptions of and ...

August Ferdinand Möbius
August Ferdinand Möbius (, ; ; 17 November 1790 – 26 September 1868) was a German mathematician and theoretical astronomer. Early life and education Möbius was born in Schulpforta, Electorate of Saxony, and was descended on his mother's side from religious reformer Martin Luther. He was home-schooled until he was 13, when he attended the college in Schulpforta in 1803, and studied there, graduating in 1809. He then enrolled at the University of Leipzig, where he studied astronomy under the mathematician and astronomer Karl Mollweide.August Ferdinand Möbius, The MacTutor History of Mathematics archive History.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk.

Empire Rising
An empire is a "political unit" made up of several territories and peoples, "usually created by conquest, and divided between a dominant center and subordinate peripheries". The center of the empire (sometimes referred to as the metropole) exercises political control over the peripheries. Within an empire, there is non-equivalence between different populations who have different sets of rights and are governed differently. Narrowly defined, an empire is a sovereign state whose head of state is an emperor; but not all states with aggregate territory under the rule of supreme authorities are called empires or ruled by an emperor; nor have all self-described empires been accepted as such by contemporaries and historians (the Central African Empire, and some Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in early England being examples). There have been "ancient and modern, centralized and decentralized, ultra-brutal and relatively benign" Empires. An important distinction has been between land empires m ...
