Hermann Weyl

    9. November 1885 – 8. Dezember 1955

    Hermann Weyl war ein deutscher Mathematiker, theoretischer Physiker und Philosoph, dessen Werk sowohl die theoretische Physik als auch reine mathematische Disziplinen maßgeblich beeinflusste. Er gehörte zu den einflussreichsten Mathematikern des 20. Jahrhunderts und strebte nach einer Form des Universalismus. Seine Forschungen umfassten Raum, Zeit, Materie, Philosophie, Logik, Symmetrie und die Geschichte der Mathematik. Bemerkenswert ist sein Versuch, die allgemeine Relativitätstheorie mit den Gesetzen des Elektromagnetismus zu vereinen.

      One of the ideas by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty, and perfection. Starting from the view that symmetry = harmony of proportions, this book gradually develops first the geometric concept of symmetry in its several forms as bilateral, translatory, rotational, ornamental, and crystallographic symmetry, and finally rises to the general abstract mathematical idea underlying all these special forms. This first paperback version of Hermann Weyl's widely-read essay includes the beautiful illustrations of the cloth cover edition.

      From the Preface: “The name of Hermann Weyl is enshrined in the history of mathematics. A thinker of exceptional depth, and a creator of ideas, Weyl possessed an intellect which ranged far and wide over the realm of mathematics and beyond. His mind was sharp and quick, his vision clear and penetrating. Whatever he touched he adorned. His personality was suffused with humanity and compassion and a keen aesthetic sensibility. Its fullness radiated charm. He was young at heart to the end. By precept and example, he inspired many mathematicians and influenced their lives. The force of his ideas has affected the course of science. He ranks among the few universalists of our time. This collection of papers is a tribute to his genius. It is intended as a service to the mathematical community…. These papers will no doubt be a source of inspirations to scholars through the ages.” Volume IV comprises 46 articles written between 1941 and 1953.

      This original anthology collects 10 of Weyl's less-technical writings that address the broader scope and implications of mathematics. Most have been long unavailable or not previously published in book form. Subjects include logic, topology, abstract algebra, relativity theory, and reflections on the work of Weyl's mentor, David Hilbert. 2012 edition.

      Exploring the intersection of mathematics and philosophy, Hermann Weyl delves into the conflicts between objective science and the uncertainties of philosophical inquiry. He argues that scientific advancements drive philosophical curiosity, shaping our understanding of the physical world. The book is structured into two parts, focusing on mathematics and physical sciences, and references influential thinkers like Descartes and Newton. Weyl's unique perspective offers a distinctive guide to comprehending science through philosophical frameworks, making this work unparalleled in its depth and insight.

      This classic on the general history of functions was written by one of the 20th century's best-known mathematicians. Weyl combined function theory and geometry in this high-level landmark work, forming a new branch of mathematics and the basis of the modern approach to analysis, geometry, and topology. 1955 edition.

      Einführung in die Funktionentheorie

      Dieser Text ist die Transkription einer Vorlesung zur Funktionentheorie, die Hermann Weyl im Wintersemester 1910-11 an der Universität Göttingen gehalten hat, kurz vor der Entstehung seines einflussreichen Buches über Riemannsche Flächen, das auf der Fortsetzung dieser Vorlesung im Sommersemester 1911 beruht. Weyl betont in dieser Vorlesung die kinematische Deutung gebrochen-linearer Transformationen und die Beziehungen zwischen konformen Abbildungen und Strömungstheorie. Höhepunkt der Vorlesung ist der Vergleich der Riemannschen und Weierstraßschen Behandlung mehrdeutiger analytischer Funktionen durch Riemannsche Flächen beziehungsweise analytische Fortsetzung.
