Friedrich Schur
Friedrich Heinrich Schur (27 January 1856, Maciejewo,
Breslau) was a German mathematician who studied geometry
.
Life and work
Schur's family was originally
University of Karlsruhe, where he was also rector in 1904/1905. In 1909, he became a professor at the University of Strasbourg. After the loss of World War I
, he was sacked by the French in 1919 and became a professor in Breslau, where he retired in 1924.
Friedrich Schur studied differential geometry, transformation groups (Lie groups) after Sophus Lie. Many of his results, which he summarized in his book Grundlagen der Geometrie (Foundation of Geometry) of 1909, can also be found in the work of David Hilbert without reference to Schur. He also wrote a textbook of analytical geometry (1898) and the graphical statics (1915).
In 1912, he received the
Bavarian Academy of Sciences
.
Among his students was Theodor Molien and Julius Wellstein.
