The Felix Hausdorff Lectures from the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald are conceptualized and organized in cooperation with the University of Greifswald’s Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science. The goal is to introduce mathematical phenomena and problems to a broad audience.
Felix Hausdorff (born 8 November 1868 in Breslau, died 26 January 1942 in Bonn) was a German mathematician. He is considered a co-founder of general topology and made key contributions to general and descriptive set theory, measure theory, functional analysis and algebra. In the summer of 1912, he started working on his opus magnum, the book Grundzüge der Mengenlehre(Set Theory). It was completed in Greifswald, where Hausdorff was appointed as an ordinary professor starting in the summer semester 1913, and was published in 1914.
