Hans Robert Müller
Hans Robert Müller (born October 26, 1911 in Graz , † March 25, 1999 in Wolfenbüttel ) was an Austrian mathematician , professor and director of mathematical institutes at universities.
Life
Hans Robert Müller was the son of the bacteriologist Paul Theodor Müller and his wife Bertha Maria Anna Müller, daughter of the Austro-Slovenian mathematician Franc Jože Hočevar . His younger brother Paul (1915–1942) was a nuclear physicist and active in the German Uranium Association.
From 1930 to 1935 Hans Robert Müller studied astronomy , descriptive geometry , mathematics , philosophy , and physics at the University of Graz and the Technical University of Graz . In 1935 he passed the teaching examination for mathematics and descriptive geometry. At the University of Graz from 1936 he was an assistant at the Institute for Mathematics (then referred to as the "Mathematical Seminar"), received his doctorate in mathematics in 1937, his habilitation in 1939, and in 1940 he became a lecturer. In 1941 he was drafted into the Wehrmacht (where he became a non-commissioned officer ), was taken prisoner of war from which he was released in September 1945. From 1945 he was again an assistant in Graz, received the title of private lecturer and in 1950 the title of extraordinary professor, and became a permanent assistant at the Graz University of Technology. In 1954 he became a full professor at Ankara University . In 1956 he was appointed professor at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg, where he was director of the Institute for Geometry. In 1963 he was appointed to the Technical University of Braunschweig , where he was director of the Institute for Mathematics and from 1963 to 1965 head of the natural sciences department. In 1977 he was retired there.
It was particularly concerned with geometrical investigations into kinematics , especially in connection with the Erlangen program and the work of Wilhelm Blaschke . He also wrote some textbooks on geometry.
His students included Reinhold Heinemann, Josef Hoschek, Heinz Linder, Klaus Meyer, Werner Pelzer.
