Johann Georg Rosenhain (born June 10, 1816 in Königsberg i. Pr. , † March 14, 1887 in Berlin ) was a German mathematician .

Life

Johann Georg Rosenhain came from a Jewish family in Königsberg (parents: Nathan and Röschen née Joseph). After attending the Collegium Fridericianum , he studied mathematics at the Albertus University of Königsberg from the summer semester of 1834 . He heard from Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi and Friedrich Julius Richelot . While still a student, he edited a few lectures by Jacobi, whose theory of elliptical functions inspired his own work. In 1844 he went to the Silesian Friedrich-Wilhelms-University of Breslau , where he is on the Abelian integrals habilitation and as a lecturer taught. Rosenhain was honored for his writing in 1846 (officially announced in 1849) by the Paris Academy of Sciences . After participating in the 1848 revolution , Rosenhain had to leave Breslau and went to Vienna , where he completed his habilitation again in 1851. In 1856 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences . In 1857 he returned to Königsberg as an associate professor . To do this, however, in view of his political past, he first had to make an official declaration that he would not be democratic again from now on. In 1859 he was elected a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences .

Rosenhain was also considered gifted in languages ​​and music; however, some observers noted that he did not live up to the high expectations of his early years and did not publish any noteworthy articles after his award-winning work. He taught in Königsberg until the winter semester of 1884/85, was given leave of absence and went to Berlin, where he died shortly before his 71st birthday.
