The Hamburg Mathematical Society (German : Mathematische Gesellschaft in Hamburg) is a learned society concerned with mathematics and located in the German city of Hamburg.
It was founded in 1690 by Heinrich Meissner as the "Kunstrechnungsübende Societät". It is the oldest still-active mathematical society in the world, and the second-oldest scientific society in Germany after the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, which was founded in 1652. [1] Two asteroids, 449 Hamburga and 454 Mathesis, were given their names at an anniversary celebration of the society in 1901. [2]
Its journal is the Mitteilungen der Mathematischen Gesellschaft in Hamburg. [3] It began publications in 1881, succeeding a listing of society talks which had been sent out to members since 1873. [1]
Max August Zorn was a German mathematician. He was an algebraist, group theorist, and numerical analyst. He is best known for Zorn's lemma, a method used in set theory that is applicable to a wide range of mathematical constructs such as vector spaces, and ordered sets amongst others. Zorn's lemma was first postulated by Kazimierz Kuratowski in 1922, and then independently by Zorn in 1935.
Hilbert's ninth problem, from the list of 23 Hilbert's problems (1900), asked to find the most general reciprocity law for the norm residues of k-th order in a general algebraic number field, where k is a power of a prime.
Lothar Collatz was a German mathematician, born in Arnsberg, Westphalia.
Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, often referred to by the acronym GAMM, is a German society for the promotion of science, founded in 1922 by the physicist Ludwig Prandtl and the mathematician Richard von Mises. The society awards the Richard von Mises prize annually. The society publishes the journal GAMM-Mitteilungen and Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik through Wiley.
Gustav Adolf Fischer was a German explorer of East Africa.
Johannes von Gmunden was a German astronomer, mathematician and humanist.
Walter Dubislav was a German logician and philosopher of science (Wissenschaftstheoretiker).
Carl Johann Adolf Alexander Witting was a German mathematician.
The Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik (GDM) is a scientific society pursuing the goal to foster mathematics education, particularly in German-speaking countries. It seeks cooperation with the respective institutions in other countries.
Abhandlungen aus dem Mathematischen Seminar der Universität Hamburg is a peer-reviewed mathematics journal published by Springer Science+Business Media. It publishes articles on pure mathematics and is scientifically coordinated by the Mathematisches Seminar, an informal cooperation of mathematicians at the Universität Hamburg; its Managing Editors are Professors Vicente Córtes and Tobias Dyckerhoff. The journal is indexed by Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt MATH.
The German Mathematical Society is the main professional society of German mathematicians and represents German mathematics within the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the International Mathematical Union (IMU). It was founded in 1890 in Bremen with the set theorist Georg Cantor as first president. Founding members included Georg Cantor, Felix Klein, Walther von Dyck, David Hilbert, Hermann Minkowski, Carl Runge, Rudolf Sturm, Hermann Schubert, and Heinrich Weber.
Rafael Artzy was an Israeli mathematician specializing in geometry.
Albert Joseph Maria Defant was an Austrian meteorologist, oceanographer and climatologist. He published fundamental works on the physics of the atmosphere and ocean and is regarded as one of the founders of physical oceanography.
The German Soil Science Society is a non-profit organisation of soil science experts and others interested in this area.
Helene (Hel) Braun was a German mathematician who specialized in number theory and modular forms. Her autobiography, The Beginning of A Scientific Career, described her experience as a female scientist working in a male-dominated field at the time, in the Third Reich.
Aurel Voss was a German mathematician, best known today for his contributions to geometry and mechanics. He served as president of the German Mathematical Society for the 1898 term. He was a professor at the University of Munich during 1902–1923. He became Emeritus in 1923.
Alwin Oswald Walther was a German mathematician, engineer and professor. He is one of the pioneers of mechanical computing technology in Germany.
Paul Louis Riebesell was a German mathematician, statistician, actuary, and president of Hamburger Feuerkasse. At the International Congress of Mathematicians, he was an invited speaker in 1932 in Zürich and in 1936 in Oslo.
Claus Peter Ortlieb was a German mathematician (PhD), critic of work, critic of political economy, and a critic of contemporary science, especially regarding its use of mathematics. He was an editor for the journal EXIT!.
The German Crystallographic Society is a non-profit organization based in Berlin. As a voluntary association of scientists working in crystallography or interested in crystallography and other people and institutions, its goal is to promote crystallography in teaching, research and industrial practice as well as in the public, in particular by fostering the exchange of experience and ideas as well as further education at national and international level Frame. Working groups are dedicated to specific areas of crystallography. The Society has just over 1000 members.
