Ludwig Maurer

Ludwig Wilhelm Maurer ( born December 11, 1859 in Munich, † January 10, 1927, buried in Munich) was a German mathematician and university professor.

Life

Mason was the eldest son of the legal historian and philologist Konrad Maurer. He studied in Munich, where he became in 1879 a member of the Corps Suevia. At the University of Strasbourg in 1886 he was habilitated doctorate ( On the theory of linear substitutions ) and 1888. It was founded in 1896 non- -budgetary associate professor in Strasbourg, 1897 and 1909 -budgetary extraordinary professor at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.

He worked on Lie groups and wrote with Henry Burkhardt the article Continuous transformation groups in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences. According to him, Élie Cartan and masons - Cartan forms are named in the theory of Lie groups.

Mason remained life unmarried and childless. He spent his last years in Munich and is buried in the Old South Cemetery in Munich. The bust, which is about his name, but does not provide it, but his grandfather Georg Ludwig von Maurer dar.
