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 (1857–1941),[1] and was an endowment of the University of Leipzig.[2]
It was awarded 14 times between 1914 and 1941.[3] 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:[4]
- History, philosophy, teaching
- Mathematics, especially arithmetic and algebra
- Mechanics
- Mathematical physics
- Mathematics, especially analysis
- Astronomy and theory of errors
- Mathematics, especially geometry
- Applied mathematics, especially geodesy and geophysics.
