Last updated

Hans Beck was a German mathematician.

Hans Heinrich Rudolf Beck was born 16 August 1876 in Altzarrendorf, Kreis Grimmon, Province of Pomerania, Prussia. He studied science at University of Griefswald. In 1902 he taught in Ostern, in 1903 in Hannover, and from 1909 to 1917 in Charlottenburg.

He began research with Eduard Study at University of Bonn and produced a dissertation on hyperbolic geometry. He translated Maxime Bôcher's Introduction to Higher Algebra in 1910. In 1917 he took a position at the university. He produced a textbook on coordinate geometry in 1919, and was promoted to professor in 1920. His Introduction to the Axiomatics of Algebra appeared in 1926. He died in Bonn, Germany on 24 October 1942.

He was a member of mathematical societies: German Mathematical Society, Berliner Mathmatischer Gesellschaft, and Circolo Matematico di Palermo.

Felix Christian Klein was a German mathematician and mathematics educator, known for his work in group theory, complex analysis, non-Euclidean geometry, and the associations between geometry and group theory. His 1872 Erlangen program classified geometries by their basic symmetry groups and was an influential synthesis of much of the mathematics of the time.

Hermann Günther Grassmann was a German polymath known in his day as a linguist and now also as a mathematician. He was also a physicist, general scholar, and publisher. His mathematical work was little noted until he was in his sixties. His work preceded and exceeded the concept which is now known as a vector space. He introduced the Grassmannian, the space which parameterizes all k-dimensional linear subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space V. In linguistics he helped free language history and structure from each other.
