Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alfred Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award for the Promotion of Mathematical Sciences recognized work in mathematical analysis. It was established in 1912 by engineer Alfred Ackermann-Teubner and was an endowment of the University of Leipzig.[1]

It was awarded 14 times between 1914 and 1941.[2] Subsequent awards were to be made every other year until a surplus of 60,000 marks was accumulated within the endowment, at which time, the prize was to be awarded annually. The subjects included:[3]

Honorees

[edit]

The fifteen honorees between 1914 and 1941 are:[4]

Jurists

[edit]

In 1937, Constantin Carathéodory and Erhard Schmidt were invited to jury the award.[17] Along with Wilhelm Blaschke, Carathéodory was invited again in 1944 by the German Union of Mathematicians.[18]
