Heinrich Schröter

Heinrich Eduard Schröter (born January 8, 1829 in Königsberg i. Pr. , † January 3, 1892 in Breslau ) was a German mathematician and university professor. He dealt with geometry in the tradition of Jakob Steiner .

Life

Schröter attended (as at about the same time, the mathematician Alfred Clebsch , Rudolf Lipschitz , Carl Neumann ) the old-urban Gymnasium (Königsberg) . From 1845 he studied mathematics and physics at the Albertus University in Königsberg . His teachers were Friedrich Julius Richelot , Franz Ernst Neumann and Otto Hesse . He served in the meantime as a one-year volunteer in the Prussian Army and moved to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin to Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet and Jakob Steiner . With a doctorate in Richelot doctorate he 1854 in Königsberg to Dr. phil.

He passed the teacher exams, but completed his habilitation in 1855 at the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Breslau . In Breslau he became an associate professor in 1858 and a full professor in 1861 . For the academic year 1874/75 he was elected rector of the university. In 1882 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences . In 1883 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina . Shortly before his 63rd birthday, he succumbed to progressive paralysis.

plant

Schröter dealt under the influence of Steiner, whose lectures on synthetic geometry (projective theory of conic sections), available only on notebooks, he published in 1867, with geometric questions. In The Theory of Surfaces of 1880 he dealt with third-order space curves as intersections of conic sections. For this work he received the Jakob Steiner Prize of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences , of which he became a corresponding member in 1881. He also examined third-order surfaces and fourth-order space curves (1890). One of his students was Rudolf Sturm .
