Heinrich Dörrie (mathematician)
Heinrich Dörrie (born December 2, 1873 in Hanover , † 1955 ) was a German mathematics teacher and author of several specialist books.
After graduating from high school in 1895, Dörrie studied mathematics, physics, geography, English and French at the University of Göttingen and the University of Leipzig with the aim of becoming a teacher. In 1902/03 he was a trial teacher at the Royal High School in Fulda and then senior teacher at the Realprogymnasium in Biedenkopf . From 1908 to 1942 he was a teacher at the secondary school in Wiesbaden .
Dörrie received his doctorate in 1898 under David Hilbert at the University of Göttingen ( The quadratic reciprocity law in the quadratic number field with the class number 1 ).
He was best known for his book Triumph der Mathematik , in which one hundred historical problems of " elementary mathematics " are presented with complete solutions.
