Weyl
Hermann Klaus Hugo Weyl (; ; 9 November 1885 – 8 December 1955) was a German mathematician, theoretical physicist, logician and philosopher. Although much of his working life was spent in Zürich, Switzerland, and then Princeton, New Jersey, he is associated with the University of Göttingen tradition of mathematics, represented by Carl Friedrich Gauss, David Hilbert and Hermann Minkowski. His research has had major significance for theoretical physics as well as purely mathematical disciplines such as number theory. He was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century, and an important member of the Institute for Advanced Study during its early years. Weyl contributed to an exceptionally wide range of fields, including works on space, time, matter, philosophy, logic, symmetry and the history of mathematics. He was one of the first to conceive of combining general relativity with the laws of electromagnetism. Freeman Dyson wrote that Weyl alone bore com ...

Fritz Joachim Weyl
Fritz Joachim Weyl (February 19, 1915 – July 20, 1977) was a mathematician born in Zurich, Switzerland. He contributed to mathematics research and taught at several universities, most notably at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Early life Fritz Joachim Weyl was the son of mathematician Hermann Weyl and the author and translator Helene Weyl. Fritz received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Swarthmore College in 1935. At Princeton University, Fritz received a master's degree in 1937 and a Ph.D. in 1939. His Ph.D. thesis at Princeton was entitled ''Analytic Curves''. Salomon Bochner served as his thesis advisor and oversaw his research while Fritz was studying at Princeton. Career Weyl taught at a number of different universities during his life. These include the University of Illinois; the University of Maryland, College Park; Indiana University; and George Washington University. In addition to teaching, Weyl was employed as a research analyst by the U.S. g ...
