The south German or Austrian Reiss is a leftover of a profession name Reußhäusler which could best be translated to ''maker of charcoal from wood'' in English. Members of this profession usually have been free residents (in the meaning of not enslaved and not belonging to a Duke or King) and got very early the right to carry a weapon (axe) and a uniform like dress, comparable to miners. Another source for the name Reiss - originated mostly from the County of Hessen (Frankfurth/Main) area is a Jewish name. Some Ancestral historians write it could come from a dealer in rice or from the profession of a ...

Reiss Relation
In algebraic geometry Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics, classically studying zeros of multivariate polynomials. Modern algebraic geometry is based on the use of abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, for solving geometrical ..., the Reiss relation, introduced by , is a condition on the second-order elements of the points of a plane algebraic curve meeting a given line. Statement If ''C'' is a complex plane curve given by the zeros of a polynomial ''f''(''x'',''y'') of two variables, and ''L'' is a line meeting ''C'' transversely and not meeting ''C'' at infinity, then :\sum\frac=0 where the sum is over the points of intersection of ''C'' and ''L'', and ''f''''x'', ''f''''xy'' and so on stand for partial derivatives of ''f'' . This can also be written as :\sum\frac=0 where κ is the curvature of the curve ''C'' and θ is the angle its tangent line makes with ''L'', and the sum is again over the points of intersection of ''C'' and ''L' ...
