In 1913 Schmidt began studying physics , chemistry , mathematics and philosophy at the University of Leipzig . In 1919 he received his doctorate in theoretical physics on the topic "On the possibility and stability of equilibrium states of resting and rotating groups of electrons within a non-equivalent in the general sphere of homogeneous positive electricity." In 1926 he was at the University of Leipzig habilitation . In 1945 Schmidt received a call as a full professor for applied mathematics at the University of Halle , a little later he became head of the institute for applied mathematics there.
