from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Günther (born April 2, 1867 in Bernburg ; † September 27, 1891 ) was a German mathematician .

Paul Günther studied in Berlin , among others with Kronecker , Weierstraß and Fuchs . He received his doctorate in 1889 and completed his habilitation in 1890. He fell seriously ill in the spring of 1891 and died of it in the autumn of the same year.

Günther's areas of work were linear differential equations , function theory and elliptic functions . Nine of his papers have appeared (partly posthumously) in Crelles Journal . A generalization of Weierstrass's product set that goes back to him is linked to his name.
