German mathematician (1877 - 1954)
Georg Karl Wilhelm Hamel (12 September 1877 – 4 October 1954) was a German
mathematician with interests in
mechanics , the
foundations of mathematics and
function theory .
[1]
Biography
Hamel was born in
Düren ,
Rhenish Prussia . He studied at
Aachen ,
Berlin ,
Göttingen , and
Karlsruhe . His doctoral adviser was
David Hilbert .
[2] He taught at
Brünn in 1905, Aachen in 1912, and at the
Technical University of Berlin in 1919. In 1927, Hamel studied the size of the
key space for the
Kryha
encryption device. He was an Invited Speaker of the
International Congress of Mathematicians in 1932 at Zurich and in 1936 at Oslo.
[3] He was the author of several important treatises on mechanics. He became a member of the
Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1938
[4] and the
Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1953.
[5] He died in
Landshut ,
Bavaria .
