http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19365253

Collection documents the career of Max Dehn (1878-1952), relating chiefly to his research in geometry, topology, group theory, and the history of mathematics. The bulk of the papers is from Dehn's years at Frankfurt University (1921-1935) and after his immigration to the United States in 1940, where he was chiefly associated with Black Mountain college. Correspondents include E. Artin, O. Blumenthal, H. Bohr, S. Breuer, C. Caratheodory, M. Kneser, E. Noether, M. Pasch, O. Toeplitz, and E. Zermelo. Biographical material on Dehn is included.

Emmy Noether was born in Wilhemine Nuremberg, Germany and raised the daughter of mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Erlangen, Max Noether. At the age of eighteen she decided to pursue a career in mathematics and began auditing her father's classes. In 1907 she received a doctorate in mathematics, which made her the second woman in history to receive a doctorate degree from a German University. Since women were still not allowed to teach at the university level in Ger...

Max Dehn (1878-1952) was a German mathematician known for his contributions to geometry, topology, group theory, and the history of mathematics. Born in Hamburg, Germany, he studied mathematics in Freiburg and Göttingen, where he earned his doctorate under the supervision of David Hilbert in 1900. In 1901, he solved Hilbert's third problem, posed at the International Congress of Mathematicians. Dehn began his teaching career at the University of Münster in 1901, and, after teaching at several in...

Ernst Hellinger was born in Striegau, Silesia, on September 30, 1883. After studying at the University of Heidelberg and the University of Breslau, Hellinger took his PhD in mathematics at the University of Gottingen (where he worked with David Hilbert and Franz Klein) in 1907. Hellinger studied integral equations, infinite systems of equations, real functions, and continued fractions. Hellinger taught at Gottingen (1907-1909), Marburg (1909-1914), and Frankfurt (1914-19...
