Hildegard Rothe-Ille

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hildegard Rothe-Ille (born September 4, 1899 in Bibra , † December 1942 in Iowa , USA) was a German mathematician , with algebraic and number theory work.

Life

After attending the Chamisso School in Berlin-Schöneberg , Hildegard Ille studied mathematics, physics and philosophy at the Friedrich Wilhelms University (since 1949 it has been called the Humboldt University) in Berlin. After teaching exam in 1923, she was in 1924 Issai Schur in mathematics doctorate . From April 1, 1925, she was a fellow for a year at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics , which at that time was headed by Albert Einstein . From 1926 to 1928 she was a trainee teacher at the Chamissoschule and finished her teacher training in March 1928. In the same year she married the mathematician Erich Rothe . She and her husband went to Breslau in 1928 . There she worked as a teacher until 1930. From 1930 she was a research assistant at the Technical University of Wroclaw . In 1937 she emigrated to the USA with Erich Rothe, whose lectureship was withdrawn. There she taught at William Penn College in Oskaloosa, Iowa. She died of cancer in 1942.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ See also Issai Schur and Hildegard Ille in Chapter 34: Whose conjecture did van der Waerden prove? (in A. Soifer: "The Mathematical Coloring Book").
  2. ↑ See Denz / Vogt. In July 1925, she also graduated from the Oriental Seminar in Berlin in Japanese.
  3. ↑ For the years 1926 and 1927 she wrote numerous articles for the yearbook on the progress of mathematics . She also wrote a particularly large number of articles for the years 1932 and 1934/35. However, since the yearbooks appeared with a delay (e.g. the volume for 1926 was not finished until 1935) one cannot clearly deduce the time of the contributions. The choice of topics of the 167 articles presented shows that her main interest was in analytical number theory .
