Karl Hattendorff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Hattendorff (born August 31, 1834 in Hanover , † June 1, 1882 in Aachen ) was a German mathematician.

Life and work

Karl Hattendorff, son of a bookbinder in Hanover, studied mathematics at the Polytechnic in Hanover from 1852 to 1856 . In 1859 and 1860 he was a teacher at the Hanover cadet institute . In 1860 he continued studying mathematics at the University of Göttingen and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. In 1864 Karl Hattendorff completed his habilitation and became a private lecturer. In addition, he was from 1867 to 1869 as an assessor member of the mathematical class of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen .

The fraternity of Hannovera made him an honorary member in 1864. In 1869 he taught for a short time at the secondary school in Hanover before he became a full professor of mathematics when the "Royal Rheinisch-Westfälische Polytechnische Schule zu Aachen" opened in 1870 . From 1872 he also took over the management of the university library until his death.

In Göttingen, Karl Hattendorff began to sift through and publish the lecture materials of the Göttingen mathematics professor Bernhard Riemann (1826–1866), who died young , before he published his own research results and wrote textbooks. Some of these works were reprinted in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
