    Biography of hermann minkowski (18641909) hermann minkowski. Born 22 June 1864 in Alexotas, Russian Empire (now Kaunas, Lithuania)

    Extractions: Hermann Minkowski Einstein was a student in several of the courses he gave. Hilbert and his associates. He participated in a seminar on electron theory in 1905 and he learnt the latest results and theories in electrodynamics. By 1907 Minkowski realised that the work of Lorentz and Einstein could be best understood in a non-educlidean spave. He considered space and time, which were formerly thought to be independent, to be coupled together in a four-dimensional 'space-time continuum'. Minkowski worked out a four-dimensional treatment of electrodynamics. His major works in this area are Raum und Zeit (1907) and This space-time continuum provided a framework for all later mathematical work in relativity. These ideas were used by Albert Einstein in developing the general theory of relativity. Minkowski was mainly interested in pure mathematics and spent much of his time investigating quadratic forms and continued fractions . His most original achievement, however, was his 'geometry of numbers'. This study led on to work on convex bodies and to questions about packing problems, the ways in which figures of a given shape can be placed within another given figure.

    Extractions: German mathematician and friend of Hilbert . Hermann studied invariants and wrote a paper on the decomposition of integers into the sum of five squares (a special case of Waring's problem ). Minkowski did very important work in the study of non-Euclidean geometry using tensor calculus The four dimensional time-space generalization of flat " Euclidean space " is known as Minkowski space He was aware of the fundamental nature of his work, stating "The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality" (Pais 1982, p. 152).

Sauer, eds, Boston: Birkhäuser, 1999, pp. 45-86 In particular, the introduction of sophisticated mathematical techniques to theoretical physics by Minkowski and others is a theme illustrated by Christa Jungnickel and Russell McCormmach. In what follows, we address another aspect of Minkowski's role in the history of the theory of relativity: his disciplinary advocacy. Minkowski's 1908 Cologne lecture ``Raum und Zeit'' (Minkowski 1909) may be understood as an effort to extend the disciplinary frontier of mathematics to include the principle of relativity. We discuss the tension created by a mathematician's intrusion into the specialized realm of theoretical physics, and Minkowski's strategy to overcome disciplinary obstacles to the acceptance of his work. The effectiveness of his approach is evaluated with respect to a selection of responses, and related to trends in bibliometric data on disciplinary contributions to non-gravitational theories of relativity through 1915. At the time of the meeting of the German Association in late September 1908, Minkowski was recognized as an authority on the theory of relativity nowhere outside of the university town of Göttingen. The structure and content of Minkowski's lecture, we will see later, was in many ways a function of a perceived deficit of credibility. In order to understand this aspect of Minkowski's lecture, we first examine how Minkowski became acquainted with the electrodynamics of moving bodies.

Minkowski was charged with inspection and preparation of copies of the Palomar Sky Survey. He also studied the physics and expansion of the Crab Nebula (a pulsar remnant). Also with Baade , Minkowski identified the optical counterparts of the radio sources Cygnus A, Virgo A (M87), Perseus A (NGC 1275), and Centaurus A (NGC 5128), although simultaneous identifications of Centaurus A and Virgo A were made by Bolton Slee , and Stanley. In 1951, Minkowski discovered the asteroid Geographos. Minkowski (Hermann)

    Extractions: zurück zur Fakultät Universität Hermann Minkowski Von Minkowski stammen bahnbrechende Arbeiten aus Zahlentheorie, Geometrie und Relativitätstheorie. Durch seine Anwendung geometrischer Methoden auf Zahlentheoretische Probleme begründete er das neue Gebiet der "Geometrie der Zahlen". Minkowskis große Leistung auf dem Gebiet der Relativitätstheorie besteht in der mathematischen Durchdringung der von H.A. Lorentz und Albert Einstein entwickelten Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Invarianz bei den sogenannten Lorentz-Transformationen. Die Zeichnung aus Minkowskis Vortrag Raum und Zeit soll die Zusammenfassung von Raum-Zeit-Koordination zum vierdimensionalen Raum-Zeit-Kontinuum veranschaulichen. Die bei Minkowskis frühem Tod hinterlassenen weiteren Notizen der Relativitätstheorie wurden von Max Born bearbeitet und herausgegeben. Die Figur (aus Minkowskis Vortrag auf dem III. Internationalen Mathematiker-Kongress in Heidelberg 1904) erläutert den ebenen Fall des am Beginn von Minkowskis Geometrie der Zahlen stehenden sogenannten "Gitterpunktsatzes". Er besagt, daß ein zum Nullpunkt symmetrisches konvexes Gebiet vom Flächeninhalt 4 außer dem Nullpunkt im Inneren oder auf dem Rande noch mindestens zwei weitere Punkte mit ganzen Koordinaten besitzt.

    Extractions: Hermann Minkowski.- , estudió en las universidades de Berlín y de Königsberg. Recibió su doctorado de Königsberg en 1885. Enseñó en varias universidades, Bonn, Königsberg, y en el Instituto Politécnico de Zurich, donde fue profesor de Albert Einstein en varios de los cursos que él impartió en ese establecimiento educacional. A contar desde 1902, Minkowski fue profesor en la Universidad de Göttingen, en donde él permanecía por el resto de su vida. En Göttingen él aprendió física-matemática con Hilbert y su equipo. En 1905, participó en un seminario sobre la teoría del electrón, donde aprendió sobre los últimos descubrimientos y resultados obtenidos sobre esta materia, y sobre las teorías electrodinámicas. En 1907, expuso la idea de que tanto los trabajos de Lorentz como de Einstein podían ser descritos mejor si se consideraba un espacio no euclidiano. Pensaba que tanto el espacio como el tiempo, que en esos años eran considerados desagregados, constituían juntos un espaciotiempo cuadridimensional (tres dimensiones más el tiempo). Minkowski tenía experiencia en resolver fenómenos en cuatro dimensiones. Había trabajado en tratamientos tetradimensionales en asuntos relacionados con la electrodinámica. Sus trabajos más importantes en esta área son: Raum und Seit (1907) y Zwei Abhandlungen die Grundgleichungen der Elektrodynamik
