Wilhelm Scheibner
Wilhelm Scheibner (born January 8, 1826 in Gotha , † April 8, 1908 in Leipzig ) was a German mathematician.
Scheibner studied mathematics from 1844 to 1848 at the University of Bonn and the University of Berlin , where he also heard lectures from Carl Gustav Jacobi . In 1848 he received his doctorate from the University of Halle , where his doctoral supervisor was Jacobi. In 1853 he completed his habilitation at the University of Leipzig (on the calculation of a genre of functions that appear in the development of disturbance functions), where he was a private lecturer and from 1856 extraordinary and from 1868 full professor of mathematics.
Scheibner dealt with analysis (infinite series and continued fractions, elliptic integrals, certain integrals, potential theory), geometry, number theory (theory of the Jacobi symbol and Legendre symbol ) and algebra (invariant theory).
He was a Privy Councilor and a member of the Royal Saxon Society of Sciences .
