Michel Reiss
Michel Reiss , also Reiss, (born July 23, 1805 in Frankfurt am Main , † January 27, 1869 there ) was a German mathematician.
Reiss came from a family of wealthy merchants. From 1823 he studied mathematics at the University of Göttingen and had private lessons with Carl Friedrich Gauß . In 1825 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on parallel curves on surfaces. He completed his dissertation in Berlin and went to Paris in 1827 to study further, bringing a letter from Carl Gustav Jacobi to Adrien-Marie Legendre about elliptical functions. Then he went to Brussels, where he got married. Investigations into determinants date from this period. At the beginning of the 1830s he was back in Frankfurt and lived as a wealthy private scholar. But his health was poor. He published a book on determinants. In a work published in the Annali di Matematica (Series 2, Volume 5) after his death, he dealt with a number theory-combinatorial problem from the game of dominoes.
The Reiss relation in the algebraic geometry of plane curves is named after him. It is a relationship between the 2nd order partial derivatives at the intersections of a plane algebraic curve with a straight line.
