Mathematical History Course: From a Geometric Perspective
In this course we look at the life and work of some of the most influential Mathematicians including David Hilbert, Felix Klein, Emmy Noether and Bernhard Riemann. The aim is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to introduce the historical figures and convey the flavor of how Mathematics were conducted at that time, on the other hand, I would also like to show how (in a possibly modern interpretation) their work continue to be influencial today. Along the way we will also be encountering some specifics of the German culture and in particular the different educational and academic system.
