Rudolf Rothe
Rudolf Ernst Rothe (born October 15, 1873 in Berlin ; † October 26, 1942 there ) was a German applied mathematician.
Life
Rothe attended the Sophien-Gymnasium in Berlin and from 1892 studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin with Hermann Amandus Schwarz , Johannes Knoblauch , Lazarus Immanuel Fuchs and Ferdinand Georg Frobenius , where he received his doctorate from Schwarz in 1897 ( studies on the theory of isothermal surfaces ) . In 1905 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Berlin-Charlottenburg . From 1908 he was a professor at the TU Clausthal , from 1914 at the University of Hanover (then TH), where he founded the Institute for Applied Mathematics, and from 1915 at the TH Charlottenburg, where he was rector in 1921. After retiring in 1939, he was an honorary senator at the TU Berlin.
He dealt with differential geometry and function theory. During the First World War he researched ballistics and determined the trajectory of the projectiles of the Paris gun (which was used to bombard Paris from a distance of 120 km in 1918) by drawing .
In 1926 he was elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina .
In 1930 he was President of the German Mathematicians Association . From 1916 to 1918 and from 1939 to 1941 he was chairman of the Berlin Mathematical Society , of which he was a founding member.
After the death of Johannes Knoblauch, Rothe completed the publication of the works of Karl Weierstrass . In 1911 and 1913 he was co-editor with Felix Auerbach of the pocket book for mathematicians and physicists (Teubner, first published in 1909 by Auerbach alone).
