Felix Christian Klein
Felix Christian Klein was born on April 25, 1849 (O’Conner and Robertson). Felix Klein was born in Düsseldorf, Prussia, which is now present day Germany. Also, known as Felix Klein, he was a mathematician known for his research in non-Euclidean geometry, group theory, and function theory (Felix Klein German Mathematician).
Felix Klein’s father was part of the Prussian government. His father was secretary to the head of the government. After Felix Klein graduated from the gymnasium in Düsseldorf, he went to the University of Bonn and studied math and physics from 1865-1866. Before Felix Klein had studied non-Euclidean geometry, he first wanted to be a physicist. While still at the University of Bonn he was appointed to lab assistant to Julius Plücker (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Felix Klein got his doctorate, which was supervised by Plücker. Plücker had interest in geometry, which made Felix Klein start to study geometry. Plücker died a few months after Felix Klein got his doctorate, which left Plücker’s work incomplete, and only one person could finish his work (O’Conner and Robertson). That person would be Felix Klein.
After Julius Plücker died and Felix Klein started to work on his unfinished work he worked with a man named Alfred Clebsch. Alfred Clebsch was the head of the math department at the University of Göttingen (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Clebsch had moved to Göttingen in the 1868. Clebsch recommended Klein to be the professor of mathematics at the University of Erlangen (Felix Klein German Mathematician). Before Felix Klein met Clebsch, he worked with Sophus Lie who he met in Berlin just before the Franco-German War in 1870 (Felix Klein German Mathematician).

Felix Klein was awarded the De Morgan Medal in 1893 by the London Mathematical Society (O’Conner and Robertson). In 1912 the Royal Society awarded the Copley medal to Felix Klein. In 1885 was when he was first inducted into the Royal Society (O’Conner and Robertson).
Felix Klein also has a prize that is honored after him. The prize is awarded to a young scientist or a group that is usually small of young scientist ("The European Mathematical Society"). The award that is being given is not given to any age group, but rather aimed at the younger generation ("The European Mathematical Society"). The standard that you have to meet to be required to win this prize is that your breakthrough must help solve a problem that is occurring within an industry ("The European Mathematical Society").
in 1883 he studied at Haverford college, Pennsylvania, to graduate in science in 1885 and soon entered into Harvard University. He received his Bachelor's degree in 1886 and His Masters and p.h.D in 1888. Soon after, he studied in Germany under many important important mentors
July 9th, 1856 (famousscientists.org). He earned degrees in law and started to practice as an ecclesiastical lawyer. After obtaining his formal degrees, he took private lessons in mathematics and sciences, including chemistry. He later became the professor of mathematic physics at the University of Turin. Unfortunately, that time for him was shortcoming because of political mayhem. He lost his job in 1823. He then was reappointed to his post and retired in 1850, at the age of 74.
...ibutions to analytic geometry, algebra, and calculus. In particular, he discovered the binomial theorem, original methods for expansion of never-ending series, and his “direct and inverse method of fluxions.”
He went on to discover the epidermal growth factor as well. Stanley and Rita won the shared Nobel Prize for physiology/medicine in 1986, as well as sharing the Louisa Gross Horowitz Prize form Columbia University in 1983. He also won the National Medal of Science in 1986 and his research has been vital for the understanding of cancer cell development. He is still alive to this day, at age 92 as of 17 November this year.Having been linked to Down Syndrome, the NGF is really far more important than you
His Notable awards are the Nobel Prize in Physics 1921, which is an award that is awarded once a year by the Royal Swedish academy of sciences, it is one of five Nobel awards the other four are in chemistry, literature, peace, and physiology, another award is the Metteucci Medal 1921, which is an Italian award for physicists, it was created to award physicists for fundamental contributions, the Copley Medal 1925, is a scientific award given by the royal society for outstanding achievements in research in any branch of science, the Max Planck Medal 1929, is the highest award for German society it is recognized for extra ordinary achievements in theory physics, the Time Person of the Century 1999, is recognized for being the 20th century’s 100 most influenced people.
She ended up passing her work on to this russian guy named Yuri Matiyasevich. He was a prodigy for math. He won many awards and also used Hilbert’s tenth problem to figure out more of the problem and
In 1936, the first Fields medal was presented to Lars Ahlfors and Jesse Douglas. The medal was officially known as the International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics. This medal is awarded to mathematicians under the age of forty and there can be two to four recipients of the medal. This medal and the Abel prize are called “the mathematician’s Nobel Prizes.” Previously, mathematicians did not have a major award like the Nobel Prize because the Nobel Prize was created through the will of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, who was not “particularly interested in mathematics or theoretical science”. A meeting is held every four years to decide the new recipients of the medal. The first two recipients of the medal, as stated above, were the Finnish mathematician Lars Ahlfors and the American mathematician Jesse Douglas.
* In 1908 he became Privotdozent in Berne, 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague then returning to Zurich in 1912. In 1914 he accepted appointment as the Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and became a Professor at the University of Berlin.
He has significantly altered our view of the world with his Theory of Relativity. The other one is not so well known, his works are commonly associated with Einstein instead. His name is Heisenberg. He is a narrator. He worked mainly in Quantum Physics and was responsible for the development of the Principle of Uncertainty.
Major Scientist- Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907)- Mendeleev was born in 1834. He graduated from St. Petersburg prior to moving to Heidelberg to make his own lab. He then returned to St. Petersburg and become a professor. In 1860, he began his work on the periodic table. He organized the elements by their atomic mass. When he saw a gap in the table he left space, predicting new elements would be discovered. Due to this important table, Mendeleev was awarded the Davy and Copley medal of the Royal Society.

Kummer was born to Carl Gotthelf Kummer and Sophie Rothe in Sorau, Brandenburg, Germany. His father passed away when Kummer was 3-years-old. Carl Kummer was a physician and originally Ernst Kummer aspired to be like his him. After the very tragic loss, Kummer’s mom, Sophie, worked her hardest to raise him and his brothers and sisters. His sister, Rebecca Mendelssohn Bartholdy was married to the famous mathematician, Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet. Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet is known for the numbers theory. Dirichlet ...
Jacob Bernoulli was born on the 27th of December, 1654, to Niklaus and Margarethe Bernoulli, in Basel, Switzerland. He initially abided by his father’s wishes and studied theology, eventually joining the ministry, but also chose to study both mathematics and astronomy on the side. From the ages of 22 to 28, he traveled throughout Europe, learning about the most recent advances in mathematics and the natural sciences, including recent discoveries by Boyle and Hooke.
Rutherford was awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry before his gold foil experiment. He was knighted in the New Year's Honors List for 1914. He became a Member of the Order of Merit (Civ...
Ernest Rutherford was once born in Nelson, New Zealand. It was a 30 of August, of 1871 when this genius was brought to the world. He was the second son out of seven kids James and Martha gave life to. His mother was a teacher, and his father a wheelwright. His education was fulfilled with government schools. At age 16, he joined Nelson Collegiate School. Later on, he was awarded a scholarship for the University of New Zealand for his excelling intelligence, where he began in the Canterbury College. On 1893, he graduated with Mathematics and Physical Science degree. Later, he continued research on the same college receiving the B.Sc. Also received the Exhibition Science Scholarship in 1851 and was prized with the B.A. research Degree in Trinity College which is quite fascinating for his young age. Moved to Canada for a vacant spot in the Macdonald chair. Returned to England, sharing his knowledge as a teacher on the University of Manchester and Cambridge. Became part of the Royal Society Mond Laboratory. His main researches are concerned with magnetics and description of measures in a period of a hundred-thousandth of a second. Invented a detector for electromagnetic waves. Worked with his ...
