Eduard Rembs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Rembs (born September 17, 1890 in Höhr , Westerwald , † June 5, 1964 in Berlin ) was a German mathematician.

Life

After graduating from high school in Koblenz, Rembs studied from 1908 in Göttingen and Bonn with the teaching degree in Göttingen in 1912. He received his doctorate in 1918 under Eduard Study at the University of Bonn (on the bending of convex surfaces with a closed spherical image). Then he was a teacher at grammar schools in Düren, Siegburg and from 1927 at the Kant grammar school in Berlin-Spandau. In 1935 he was refused his habilitation for political reasons (he stated in a questionnaire that he was a member of the SPD) and he also lost his post as a grammar school teacher in 1937 (compulsory retirement). He then worked as an actuary. In 1945 his dismissal as a teacher was reversed, he was a teacher and from 1946 extraordinary and from 1949 full professor of geometry at the TU Berlin. In 1956 he retired.

He dealt with differential geometry, especially the bending theory of surfaces, which has been researched in Berlin since Julius Weingarten .
