The German mathematician Karl Weierstrass (1815-97) is generally
considered to be the father of modern analysis. His clear eye for
what was important is demonstrated by the publication, late in
life, of his polynomial approximation theorem; suitably generalised
as the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, it became a central tool for
twentieth-century analysis. Furthermore, the Weierstrass
nowhere-differentiable function is the seed from which springs the
entire modern theory of mathematical finance. The best students in
Europe came to Berlin to attend his lectures, and his rigorous
style still dominates the first analysis course at any university.
His seven-volume collected works in the original German contain not
only published treatises but also records of many of his famous
lecture courses. Edited by Rudolf Rothe (1873-1942), Volume 7 was
published in 1927.
