Friedrich Dingeldey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Dingeldey (born December 16, 1859 in Darmstadt ; † September 24, 1939 there ) was a German mathematician.

Life

After attending the grand ducal high school in Darmstadt, he studied at the universities of Giessen, Leipzig and Munich. He was a corps bow bearer of the Starkenburgia .

From 1886 to 1892 he worked as a teacher in Darmstadt and Groß-Gerau . Dingeldey received his doctorate in 1885 under Felix Klein in Leipzig ( on the generation of fourth-order curves by movement mechanisms ). In 1889 he completed his habilitation at the TH Darmstadt on knot theory ( on a new topological process and the conditions for the formation of simple connections and knots in certain closed areas ). He followed the work of the Viennese mathematician Oskar Simony . (In 1890 he had a brochure printed with papers on knot theory). In 1894 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina and appointed full professor of mathematics at the TH Darmstadt. From 1903 to 1905 and 1919/20 he was its rector . In 1932 he was retired at his request. He died in Darmstadt in 1939.

Dingeldey reissued George Salmon's textbooks on conic sections (after the edition by Wilhelm Fiedler) and in 1903 wrote the corresponding article in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences .
