Alfred Tauber

Alfred Tauber ( born November 5, 1866 in Bratislava, † July 26, 1942 in the Theresienstadt concentration camp ) was an Austrian mathematician.

Tauber was a student of Emil Weyr in Vienna. In 1891 he published his habilitation thesis in the " Monatshefte of Mathematics and Physics " and received the title " private docent " and taught on partial differential equations. In parallel, he worked from 1892 to 1908 as Chief Actuary for the " k k private life insurance institution Phoenix ". During this time he published, among other ten posts in the above series of publications, his most important work on potential theory and rows. In his habilitation thesis in 1891 he had already dealt with the Hilbert transform for periodic functions (13 years before Hilbert, from 1924, it was then further investigated by Hardy examined). Published in 1897 paper entitled " A sentence from the theory of infinite series " formed a new direction in the analysis, which is referred to today by GH Hardy and JE Littlewood as " Tauber theorem " or " Taubersche sentences ," she relay sets are the limitation method and summation.

Tauber 1901 received a professorship at the University of Vienna and also took in the same year as " Honorardocent " over the Chair for Actuarial Science of the Technical University of Vienna. He retired in 1933 but continued to hold lectures at two universities until 1938.

On June 28, 1942 Tauber was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where he died on July 26.
