Heinrich Durège

Jacob Heinrich Karl Durège (born July 13, 1821 in Danzig ; † April 19, 1893 ) was a German mathematician.

Durège studied mathematics at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . There he joined the Bonn Wingolf as a student in 1841 . From 1851 to 1857 he was in the United States of North America . He completed his habilitation in 1857 at the Zurich Polytechnic and in 1858 at the University of Zurich , where he was a lecturer until 1864. From then on he was full professor at the Polytechnic State Institute in Prague and from 1869 he was professor at the German University in Prague, where he retired in 1892.

He has authored several textbooks, particularly on function theory and elliptic functions. Furthermore, he published numerous scientific papers on analysis and geometry , which have appeared in Grunert's archive for mathematics and physics , as well as in Crelle's journal for pure and applied mathematics and in Schlömilch's journal for mathematics and physics .
