Rebecca Anne Hedwig Waldecker (born 1979) is a German mathematician specializing in group theory. She is professor for algebra at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. [1]
Waldecker is originally from Aachen. [1] She earned her doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) at the University of Kiel in 2007, under the supervision of Helmut Bender , [2] and in 2014 completed her habilitation at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. [1]
After postdoctoral research as a Leverhulme Fellow at the University of Birmingham, Waldecker joined Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg as a junior professor in 2009. She became professor for algebra in 2015. [1]
Waldecker is the author of the book Isolated Involutions in Finite Groups (Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society, 2013), developed from her doctoral dissertation. [3]
With Lasse Rempe-Gillen, she is the coauthor of Primzahltests für Einsteiger: Zahlentheorie, Algorithmik, Kryptographie (Vieweg+Teubner, 2009; 2nd ed., Springer, 2016), a book on primality tests that was translated into English as Primality Testing for Beginners (Student Mathematical Library 70, American Mathematical Society, 2014). [4]
She became a coauthor to the 2012 textbook Elementare Algebra und Zahlentheorie of Gernot Stroth , in its second edition (Mathematik Kompakt, Springer, 2019).
Fermat's little theorem states that if p is a prime number, then for any integer a, the number ap − a is an integer multiple of p. In the notation of modular arithmetic, this is expressed as
In abstract algebra, a Jordan algebra is a nonassociative algebra over a field whose multiplication satisfies the following axioms:
Eduard Ott-Heinrich Keller was a German mathematician who worked in the fields of geometry, topology and algebraic geometry. He formulated the celebrated problem which is now called the Jacobian conjecture in 1939.
Justus Jonas, the Elder, or simply Justus Jonas, was a German Lutheran theologian and reformer. He was a Jurist, Professor and Hymn writer. He is best known for his translations of the writings of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. He accompanied Martin Luther in his final moments.
Leonard Eugene Dickson was an American mathematician. He was one of the first American researchers in abstract algebra, in particular the theory of finite fields and classical groups, and is also remembered for a three-volume history of number theory, History of the Theory of Numbers.
Martin Maximilian Emil Eichler was a German number theorist.
Marie-Claire, Baroness Foblets is a Belgian lawyer and anthropologist, who is currently Director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology and Professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Her research interests are interculturalism, migration and minorities.

Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, also referred to as MLU, is a public, research-oriented university in the cities of Halle and Wittenberg in the State of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. MLU offers German and international (English) courses leading to academic degrees such as BA, BSc, MA, MSc, doctoral degrees, and Habilitation.
In mathematics, an Eichler order, named after Martin Eichler, is an order of a quaternion algebra that is the intersection of two maximal orders.
In mathematics, Brandt matrices are matrices, introduced by Brandt (1943), that are related to the number of ideals of given norm in an ideal class of a definite quaternion algebra over the rationals, and that give a representation of the Hecke algebra.
Andor Kertész was a Hungarian mathematician and professor of Mathematics at the Lajos Kossuth University (KLTE), Debrecen. He is the father of linguist András Kertész.

Victor Guido Feodor Eberhard was a blind German geometer, known for Eberhard's theorem partially characterizing the multisets of faces that can form convex polyhedra.
Sonja Brentjes is a German historian of science, historian of mathematics, and historian of cartography known for her work on mapmapking and mathematics in medieval Islam.
Primality Testing for Beginners is an undergraduate-level mathematics book on primality tests, methods for testing whether a given number is a prime number, centered on the AKS primality test, the first method to solve this problem in polynomial time. It was written by Lasse Rempe-Gillen and Rebecca Waldecker, and originally published in German as Primzahltests für Einsteiger: Zahlentheorie, Algorithmik, Kryptographie. It was translated into English as Primality Testing for Beginners and published in 2014 by the American Mathematical Society, as volume 70 of their Student Mathematical Library book series. A second German-language edition was publisher by Springer in 2016.
