German People
Germans (, ) are the natives or inhabitants of Germany, or sometimes more broadly any people who are of German descent or native speakers of the German language. The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany, constitution of Germany, implemented in 1949 following the end of World War II, defines a German as a German nationality law, German citizen. During the 19th and much of the 20th century, discussions on German identity were dominated by concepts of a common language, culture, descent, and history.. "German identity developed through a long historical process that led, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to the definition of the German nation as both a community of descent (Volksgemeinschaft) and shared culture and experience. Today, the German language is the primary though not exclusive criterion of German identity." Today, the German language is widely seen as the primary, though not exclusive, criterion of German identity. Estimates on the total number of Germ ...

Hermann Bottenbruch
Hermann Bottenbruch (14 September 1928 – 20 May 2019) was a German mathematician and computer scientist. Biography Bottenbruch grew up in . Toward the end of World War II, he served as a . In 1947, he began the study of mathematics at the where he graduated in 1951. Following graduation, he joined the staff of the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the (TU Darmstadt). The institute was founded by Alwin Walther. Bottenbruch earned his doctorate there in 1957. In the same year on Walther's recommendation he joined the international working group to develop a new programming language. This language was intended to combine then current understanding of programming languages into one standard. According to Friedrich Bauer, Bottenbruch coined the name ''ALGOL'', at least for Germany, from the English ''Algorithmic Language''. In 1958, the members of the working group met at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), including Friedrich L. Bauer, Botte ...

Karl-Heinz Boseck
Karl-Heinz Boseck (born 11 December 1915) was a German mathematician. According to Segal (2003), Boseck was a fanatical National Socialist and a student leader. He was an informer of the Gestapo since 1939. In 1944, shortly after his diploma graduation he was made an Untersturmführer of the Nazi SS and established a department for numerical computation in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp Sachsenhausen () or Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg was a German Nazi concentration camp in Oranienburg, Germany, used from 1936 until April 1945, shortly before the defeat of Nazi Germany in May later that year. It mainly held political prisoners t ... He was exempted from war service due to a disease. He was an assistant of the German mathematician Alfred Klose at Berlin University, and had great influence in the faculty during World War II. At the first mathematicians camp 1–3 July 1938 in the youth hostel of Ützdorf( de) near Bernau, he lectured "On the development of student scien ...

Oskar Bolza
Oskar Bolza (12 May 1857 – 5 July 1942) was a German mathematician, and student of Felix Klein. He was born in Bad Bergzabern, Palatinate, then a district of Bavaria, known for his research in the calculus of variations, particularly influenced by Karl Weierstrass' 1879 lectures on the subject. Life Bolza entered the University of Berlin in 1875. His first interest was in linguistics, then he studied physics with Gustav Kirchhoff and Hermann von Helmholtz, but experimental work did not attract him, so he decided on mathematics in 1878. The years 1878–1881 were spent studying under Elwin Christoffel and Theodor Reye at Strasbourg, Hermann Schwarz at Göttingen, and particularly Karl Weierstrass in Berlin. In the spring of 1888 he landed in Hoboken, New Jersey, searching for a job in the United States: he succeeded in finding a position in 1889 at Johns Hopkins University and then at the then newly founded Clark University.According to . In 1892 Bolza joined the Universi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Friedrich Böhm
Friedrich Böhm (born 15 August 1885 in Harburg (Swabia) near Donauwörth, died 25 August 1965 in Munich) was a German actuarial and insurance mathematician and university lecturer. During World War II, Böhm was conscripted into Group IV of Inspectorate 7 (), an early cipher bureau and Signals intelligence agency of the German Army (Wehrmacht) (), working to decode foreign Ciphers. He would later work in the successor organization: General der Nachrichtenaufklärung, in a similar role. Life Friedrich Böhm studied mathematics at the Gymnasium St. Anna in Augsburg, Munich. In 1908 he undertook his promotion to Dr Phil with a thesis titled: ''Parabolic metric in the hyperbolic space''. Lindemann, who had already given lectures on Actuarial mathematics in Munich, drew his attention to questions of mortality and disability. In 1911, he enabled Böhm's Habilitation in this discipline. Böhm became a private lecturer and, following the example of the University of Götti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karl Bobek
Karl Joseph Bobek (1855–1899) was a German mathematician working on elliptic functions and geometry Geometry (; ) is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

Friedrich Bessel
Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (; 22 July 1784 – 17 March 1846) was a German astronomer, mathematician, physicist, and geodesy, geodesist. He was the first astronomer who determined reliable values for the distance from the Sun to another star by the method of parallax. Certain important mathematical functions were first studied systematically by Bessel and were named Bessel functions in his honour. Life and family Bessel was born in Minden, Westphalia, then capital of the Prussian administrative region Minden-Ravensberg, as second son of a civil servant into a large family. At the age of 14 he left the school, because he did not like the education in Latin language, and apprenticed in the import-export concern Kulenkamp at Bremen. The business's reliance on cargo ships led him to turn his mathematics, mathematical skills to problems in navigation. This in turn led to an interest in astronomy as a way of determining longitude. Bessel came to the attention of Heinrich Wilhelm Olber ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ludwig Berwald
Ludwig Berwald (8 December 1883 – 20 April 1942) was a German mathematician best known for his contributions to differential geometry, especially Finsler geometry. He taught in Munich and Prague for 32 years, publishing 54 papers, before being deported by the Nazi SS to the Łódź Jewish Ghetto, where he and his wife Hedwig died within a year. Biography Ludwig was one of three children of Max Berwald, an East Prussian owner of a famous bookstore, and Friedericke Fischel. They were "Jewish with Max coming from East Prussia and his wife being a native of Prague." In 1900, the family moved to Munich, where Ludwig matriculated at Ludwig Maximilian University in 1902. There he studied mathematics under Aurel Voss, alongside notable mathematicians Hugo Dingler and Fritz Noether, and received his PhD in 1908 for his thesis entitled ''Über die Krümmungseigenschaften der Brennflächen eines geradlinigen Strahlsystems und der in ihm enthaltenen Regelflächen'' (''On the prope ...
