Konrad Ludwig (mathematician)

Konrad Ludwig, 1930 in Jena

Konrad Franz Joseph Ludwig (born August 22, 1898 in Breslau , Lower Silesia , † February 11, 1951 in Hanover ) was a German geodesist and university professor . He dealt with mathematical geodesy .

Life

Ludwig was awarded the title of Dr. on November 28, 1923 in his native city of Breslau. phil. PhD . His dissertation was entitled “Studies on the 5th Gaussian proof for the quadratic reciprocity law and the analogous developments in the field of complex numbers” . He then worked as an assistant for mathematics and geometry at the Technical University of Wroclaw until May 11, 1924 . From May 12, 1924 to 1935 he was an assistant for higher mathematics at the Technical University of Hanover , initially as a scheduled assistant until September 30, 1925, from October 1, 1924 to March 31, 1934 as administrator of a scheduled assistant position and finally from April 1 1934 to September 30, 1935 as main assistant.

From October 20, 1934, he also worked as a private lecturer in theoretical mechanics and analysis. On October 1, 1935, Ludwig took on a teaching position for mathematics and mechanics for surveyors at the TH Hannover, which was expanded on April 7, 1937 to the entire field of mathematics, with the exception of representational and projective geometry. On November 14, 1939, he became a lecturer and finally, on November 6, 1944, an adjunct professor.
