商品描述

Felix Hausdorff is a singular phenomenon in the history of science. As a mathematician, he played a major role in shaping the development of modern mathematics in the 20th century. He founded general topology as an independent mathematical discipline, while enriching set theory with a number of fundamental concepts and results. His general approach to measure and dimension led to profound developments in numerous mathematical disciplines, and today Hausdorff dimension plays a central role in fractal theory with its many fascinating applications by means of computer graphics. Hausdorff 's remarkable mathematical versatility is reflected in his published work: today, no fewer than thirteen concepts, theorems and procedures carry his name. Yet he was not only a creative mathematician - Hausdorff was also an original philosophical thinker, a poet, essayist and man of letters. Under the pseudonym Paul Mongré, he published a volume of aphorisms, an epistemological study, abook of poetry, an oft-performed play, and a number of notable essays in leading literary journals. As a Jew, Felix Hausdorff was increasingly persecuted and humiliated under the National Socialist dictatorship. When deportation to a concentration camp was imminent, he, along with his wife and sister-in law, decided to take their own lives.
This book will be of interest to historians and mathematicians already fascinated by the rich life of Felix Hausdorff, as well as to those readers who wish to immerse themselves in the intricate web of intellectual and political transformations during this pivotal period in European history.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

費利克斯·豪斯多夫（Felix Hausdorff）在科學史上是一個獨特的現象。作為一名數學家，他在20世紀現代數學的發展中扮演了重要角色。他創立了一般拓撲學作為一個獨立的數學學科，同時用許多基本概念和結果豐富了集合論。他對測度和維度的一般方法導致了許多數學學科的深刻發展，今天，豪斯多夫維度在分形理論中扮演著核心角色，並通過計算機圖形學展現出許多迷人的應用。豪斯多夫卓越的數學多才多藝在他的出版作品中得到了體現：今天，至少有十三個概念、定理和程序以他的名字命名。然而，他不僅是一位富有創造力的數學家，豪斯多夫還是一位原創的哲學思想家、詩人、散文家和文人。在筆名保羅·蒙格雷（Paul Mongré）下，他出版了一本格言集、一部認識論研究、一部詩集、一部經常上演的劇作，以及若干在主要文學期刊上發表的著名散文。作為一名猶太人，費利克斯·豪斯多夫在納粹專政下遭受越來越多的迫害和羞辱。當被驅逐到集中營的命運迫在眉睫時，他和他的妻子及嫂子決定結束自己的生命。
本書將吸引那些已經對費利克斯·豪斯多夫豐富生活感興趣的歷史學家和數學家，以及希望沉浸於這一歐洲歷史關鍵時期的複雜智識和政治變遷網絡中的讀者。

作者簡介

Egbert Brieskorn was professor of mathematics in Göttingen and Bonn and visiting professor at a number of foreign universities. Among mathematicians he was known for his fundamental contributions to the singularity theory of complex hypersurfaces. In Bonn he initiated the project "Felix Hausdorff - Gesammelte Werke"(10 volumes, 2001-2020) and served as head of the group of five editors responsible for the complete edition. For many years he worked on a biography of Hausdorff, which was to appear in the Hausdorff edition, though only about half of it was completed at the time of his death. Brieskorn was also the author of original and successful textbooks. He devoted decades of work to ecology and species conservation, for which he received the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Walter Purkert was professor of the history of mathematics in Leipzig and visiting professor in Wuppertal. He later taught historyof mathematics in Bonn, where as a starting point for the Hausdorff editorial project, he published a finding aid with descriptions of the contents of Hausdorff's extensive estate. Thereafter, he served full-time as coordinator of the edition, overseeing the work of its editors, while contributing to a number of the volumes. After Egbert Brieskorn's death, he spent several years completing their Hausdorff biography, published in 2018 as Volume IB of the edition. Purkert also wrote a well-received biography of Georg Cantor. He is a corresponding member of the Académie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences in Paris.


作者簡介(中文翻譯)

埃格伯特·布里斯科恩（Egbert Brieskorn）曾任哥廷根和波恩的數學教授，並在多所外國大學擔任訪問教授。在數學界，他因對複超曲面的奇異性理論的基本貢獻而聞名。在波恩，他啟動了「費利克斯·豪斯多夫 - 完整著作」（Felix Hausdorff - Gesammelte Werke，10 卷，2001-2020）項目，並擔任負責完整版本的五位編輯小組的負責人。多年來，他致力於撰寫豪斯多夫的傳記，該傳記將出現在豪斯多夫版本中，但在他去世時僅完成了約一半。布里斯科恩還是原創且成功的教科書作者。他在生態學和物種保護方面投入了數十年的工作，因而獲得德意志聯邦共和國的功勳十字勳章。

瓦爾特·普爾克特（Walter Purkert）曾任萊比錫數學史教授，並在伍珀塔爾擔任訪問教授。後來，他在波恩教授數學史，並作為豪斯多夫編輯項目的起點，出版了一本包含豪斯多夫廣泛遺產內容描述的檔案指南。此後，他全職擔任該版本的協調員，監督編輯的工作，同時為多卷書貢獻內容。在埃格伯特·布里斯科恩去世後，他花了幾年時間完成他們的豪斯多夫傳記，該傳記於2018年作為該版本的第IB卷出版。普爾克特還撰寫了一本廣受好評的喬治·康托爾傳記。他是巴黎國際科學史學院的對應會員。
