Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award
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 (1857-01-31 – 1940),[1] and was an endowment of the University of Leipzig.[2]
The first award was made in 1914.[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.
Honorees
- 1914: Professor Felix Klein[3]
- 1916: Professor Ernst Zermelo, prize of 1,000 marks[5]
- 1918: Professor Ludwig Prandtl[6]
- 1922: Professor Paul Koebe[7]
- 1932: Emmy Noether and Emil Artin, co-honorees[8]
- 1934: Professor Erich Trefftz[9]
Jurists
In 1937, Constantin Carathéodory and Erhard Schmidt were invited to jury the award.[10] Along with Wilhelm Blaschke, Carathéodory was invited again in 1944 by the German Union of Mathematicians.[11]
