Arthur Hirsch
Arthur Hirsch (born July 19, 1866 in Königsberg , † November 18, 1948 in Zurich ) was a German mathematician.
Hirsch went to school in Königsberg with the Abitur in 1882 and then studied mathematics, physics and philosophy in Königsberg and Berlin with David Hilbert and Adolf Hurwitz . In 1892 he received his doctorate in Königsberg ( on the theory of linear differential equations with a rational integral ). He then went to Zurich as Hurwitz's assistant at the Polytechnic , where he completed his habilitation and became a private lecturer. In 1897 he became adjunct professor and in 1903, as successor to Hermann Minkowski, full professor. In 1936 he retired.
He dealt with hypergeometric integrals, differential equations and calculus of variations.
In 1896/97 he was involved in the organization of the first International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Zurich and also in the 1932 ICM in Zurich.
