Die Mathematiker an Den Zurcher Hochschulen (German, Paperback): G. Frei, U. Stammbach Die Mathematiker an Den Zurcher Hochschulen (German, Paperback)

Fur 1994 wurde Zurich die Durchfuhrung des Internationalen Mathematiker Kongresses anvertraut. Zurich ist damit der bisher einzige Ort, an dem diese Veranstaltung nach 1897 und 1932 bereits zum dritten Mal stattfinden kann. Dies ist kaum zufallig, denn das Fachgebiet Mathematik in Zurich war seit der Grundung der Universitat und der Eidgenoessischen Technischen Hochschule um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts immer durch bedeutende Persoenlichkeiten vertreten. Das vorliegende Buch gibt einen UEberblick uber die Entwicklung der Mathematik an den beiden Zurcher Hochschulen bis in die sechziger Jahre dieses Jahrhunderts hinein, wobei die personellen Aspekte im Vordergrund stehen. Der Text wird von vielen Abbildungen, darunter Portrats der meisten Mathematiker, die in Zurich tatig gewesen sind, illustriert.

Die allgemeine Relativitastheorie lasst sich nur mit Hilfe des Tensorkalkuls formulieren. Diesen lernte Einstein 1912 in Form des absoluten Differentialkalkuls kennen. Dessen Schopfer war Gregorio Ricci, dem zusammen mit Sophus Lie und anderen der Ausbau der Theorie der Differentialinvarianten gelang. Der absolute Differentialkalkul passte zur allgemeinen Relativitatstheorie wie ein Schlussel zum Schloss: der in den Jahren 1884-92 von Ricci entwickelte Kalkul erfullte in der Tat genau das physikalische Konzept der allgemeinen Relativitatstheorie, das Einstein 1907-15 ausarbeitete. Ein derartiges Zusammenpassen war nur dadurch moglich, weil sowohl Ricci innerhalb der Mathematik als auch Einstein innerhalb der Physik vergleichbare Fragen stellten, namlich Fragen nach Invarianten bei speziellen Transformationen. Es wird versucht, den historischen Weg so genau wie moglich anhand der Quellen nachzuzeichnen. Neu ist die Herausarbeitung des invariantentheoretischen Aspekts, dem gegenuber die Bedeutung der Differentialgeometrie fur die Entwicklung des Tensorkalkuls in den Hintergrund treten muss."
