| Feb 25, 2017 at 15:16 | comment | added | Alan | @c.p. I believe Hermite published in German, since he has some work on ultra-radicals which interests me and I am not sure there's a good source in English of his work. | |
| Feb 25, 2017 at 14:05 | comment | added | Hubert Schölnast | @c.p.: But he published in German. We are talking about the language, not the country. In this context I would also list Neumann and Gödel, although both was Austrian mathematicians. But I don't know if they published in German or in English, since they lived during a long period of their life in the USA. | |

| Feb 25, 2017 at 13:53 | comment | added | Hubert Schölnast | Charles Hermite (1822–1901) was not German but French. Bernhard Riemann (1826–1866) lived 151 to 191 years ago, which is less than 200 years. Famous German mathematicians were for example: Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) and Leonhard Euler (1707–1783). But most famous German mathematicians lived and worked in the 19th century: Möbius (1790–1868), Jacobi (1804–1851), Dirichlet (1805–1859), Weierstraß (1815–1897), Kronecker (1823–1891), Dedekind (1831–1916), Cantor (1845–1918) and Klein (1849–1925). Only Keppler (1571–1630) and Leibnitz (1646–1716) are older. | |
| Feb 25, 2017 at 12:50 | comment | added | Alan | They didn't correspond in German 500 years ago in math literature?; no, for the moment I just want to read old math papers in German of people like Riemann, Hermite and others. I assume in the end if I want it to be as rigorous as I like it I'll need to dig into Latin, so also a good dictionary for Latin will be cool, but it's not in my immediate foreseen future. | |
