Curt forging
Curt Otto Walther Schmieden (also: Kurt Schmieden ; * June 23, 1905 in Stargard ; † February 8, 1991 in Darmstadt ) was a German mathematician who dealt with applied mathematics.
Life
Schmieden was born as the son of Lieutenant Colonel Walter Schmieden and his wife Elisabeth Havenstein. Schmieden studied from 1926 to 1929 at the University of Rostock and in 1925 and 1926 at the Humboldt University in Berlin (among others with Max Planck ), where he received his doctorate in the spring of 1929 under Richard von Mises (and Ludwig Bieberbach ) (About the resistance of a in a liquid rotating disk) . From 1926 he was a scientific assistant at the TH Danzig , where he completed his habilitation in 1931 (also on fluid mechanics). From 1934 he was associate professor at the University of Rostock and from 1937 full professor at TU Darmstadt . From 1943 to 1945 he was Dean of the Department of Mathematics and Physics.
Schmieden had been a member of the NSKK since 1933 . Since May 1, 1937, he was a member of the NSDAP . He was also a member of the National Socialist German Lecturer Association (NSDDB).
During the Second World War he took on work for the German Aviation Research Institute in Berlin. On May 12, 1941, he took part in the first demonstration of Konrad Zuse's Z3 computer . Forging dealt with, among other things, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. At the end of October 1945 he was dismissed from civil service for “political reasons”. In the denazification process he was classified as a follower in September 1946.
In the 1950s he and Detlef Laugwitz developed a non-standard analysis method. Schmieden had already dealt with the subject since the late 1940s in his "black book" , which was never published, but which he made available to selected people. Laugwitz found out about it through Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and a long-term collaboration began (with Paul Lorenzen as an expert as well), which led to a publication in 1958.
1950–1952 he was dean of the faculty of mathematics and physics. 1957/58 he was rector at the TU Darmstadt. In 1970 he retired.
