Adolphe Buhl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolphe Bühl , also Buhl, (born June 19, 1878 in Paris , † March 24, 1949 in Viry-Châtillon ) was a French mathematician and astronomer .

Bühl suffered paralysis at the age of fourteen, so that in later life he could only walk with crutches. He acquired his mathematical knowledge mainly self-taught , studied with the support of Paul Appell , Lucien Lévy , Amédée Mannheim , Charles-Ange Laisant , acquired licenses in mathematics in 1898/99 and in celestial mechanics in 1900 and received his doctorate at the Sorbonne in 1901 . The first thesis submitted was Sur les équations différentielles simultanées et la forme aux dérivées partial adjointe and the second thesis La théorie de Delaunay sur le mouvement de la lune on the theory of moon movement by Charles Delaunay . The doctorate took place with Gaston Darboux , Henri Poincaré and Paul Appell. In 1903 Bühl became a lecturer (Maître de conférences) for astronomy at the University of Montpellier (Faculté des sciences) and from 1909 professor for rational mechanics and analysis at the University of Toulouse. In 1945 he retired.

From 1903 he was on the editorial board of the magazine L'Enseignement mathématique and from 1920 with Henri Fehr as the successor to Charles-Ange Laisant. From 1930 he was secretary of one of the editors of the Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse .

He dealt with the geometry of surfaces, analysis and theoretical physics.

Bühl received the Prix ​​Peccot-Vimont . He was a member of the Legion of Honor . In 1928 he gave a lecture at the ICM in Bologna ( Sur la permutabilité des opérateurs différentiels ).
