The Prussian schoolmaster Hermann Grassmann (1809-77) taught a
range of subjects including mathematics, science and Latin and
wrote several secondary-school textbooks. Although he was never
appointed to a university post, he devoted much energy to
mathematical research and developed revolutionary new insights. Die
lineale Ausdehnungslehre, published in 1844, is an astonishing work
which was not understood by the mathematicians of its time but
which anticipated developments that took a century to come to
fruition - vector spaces, dimension, exterior products and many
other ideas. Admired rather than read by the next generation, it
was only fully appreciated by mathematicians such as Peano and
Whitehead.
