This biography sheds light on all facets of the life and the
achievements of Ernst Zermelo (1871-1953). Zermelo is best-known
for the statement of the axiom of choice and his axiomatization of
set theory. However, he also worked in applied mathematics and
mathematical physics. His dissertation, for example, promoted the
calculus of variations, and he created the pivotal method in the
theory of rating systems. The presentation of Zermelo's work
explores motivations, aims, acceptance, and influence. Selected
proofs and information gleaned from letters add to the analysis.
The description of his personality owes much to conversations with
his late wife Gertrud. This second edition provides additional
information. The system of citations has been adapted to that of
Zermelo's Collected Works in order to facilitate side-by-side
reading and thus profit from the thorough commentaries written for
the Collected Works by experts in the respective fields. All facts
presented are documented by appropriate sources. The biography
contains nearly 50 photos and facsimiles.
