Max Otto Lagally

Max Otto Lagally (born January 7, 1881 in Neuburg an der Donau , † January 31, 1945 in Dresden ) was a German mathematician and physicist. The focus of his scientific work is the use of mathematics to model physical properties of liquids.

Lagally graduated from high school in Regensburg and studied 1899-1903 mathematics and physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and received his doctorate there in 1903. He then worked as an assistant in Würzburg and Munich. From 1907 he was in school service. In 1913 he completed his habilitation at the TH Munich . During the First World War , Lagally worked as a surveyor on the Western and Eastern Fronts from 1915 to 1918 . From 1920 to 1940 he was full professor of the chair for higher mathematics at the TH Dresden . Since 1940 he was given leave of absence due to a serious illness and retired early in 1943. In the same year he was accepted as a full member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences . In November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler .

Works

Lagally has published over 50 articles in various journals. His most important works are the lectures on vector computation, first published in 1928, and the treatise on the physical properties of glaciers published in 1934. The latter led to the naming of Mount Lagally in Antarctica in 1960 .
