Hermann Thieme

Karl Gustav Hermann Thieme (born November 9, 1852 in Neu-Limmritz , Brandenburg , † March 9, 1926 ) was a German mathematician and teacher.

Thieme studied at the University of Breslau from 1873 and received his doctorate there in 1877. In 1877 he was an assistant teacher in Oldenburg, in 1879 a teacher in Striegau and from 1881 a teacher at the Oberrealschule and the Berger Gymnasium in Posen . In 1892 he became a senior teacher and in 1896 he received the title of professor. From 1909 to 1920 he was the school director in Bromberg .

In 1904 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Heidelberg (effect of scientific results on teaching in elementary mathematics).

In the program of his grammar school from 1900 he already discussed the work of Giuseppe Veronese , Moritz Pasch and David Hilbert on the fundamentals of geometry and its usability in the classroom. He sees Hilbert's work as the end of the development.
