Gesammelte Abhandlungen I - Collected Works I [Paperback]

Like Descartes and Pascal, Hans Hahn (18791934) was both an eminent mathematician and a highly influential philosopher. He founded the Vienna Circle and was the teacher of both Kurt G?del and Karl Popper. His seminal contributions to functional analysis and general topology had a huge impact on the development of modern analysis. Hahns passionate interest in the foundations of mathematics, vividly described in Sir Karl Poppers foreword (which became his last essay), had a decisive influence upon G?del. Like Freud, Musil and Sch?nberg, Hahn became a pivotal figure in the feverish intellectual climate of Vienna between the two wars. 

Volume 1: The first volume of Hahns Collected Works contains his path-breaking contributions to functional analysis, the theory of curves, and ordered groups. These papers are commented on by Harro Heuser, Hans Sagan, and Laszlo Fuchs. Volume 2: The second volume deals with functional analysis, real analysis and hydrodynamics. The commentaries are written by Wilhelm Frank, Davis Preiss, and Alfred Kluwick. Volume 3: In the third volume, Hahns writings on harmonic analysis, measure and integration, complex analysis and philosophy are collected and commented on by Jean-Pierre Kahane, Heinz Bauer, Ludger Kaup, and Christian Thiel. This volume also contains excerpts of Hahns letters and accounts by his students and colleagues.

Hans Hahn (18791934) war einer der bedeutendsten Mathematiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er hat zahlreiche Gebiete der Analysis entscheidend gepr?gt und z?hlt zu den V?tern der Funktionalanalysis. Aber auch die Ma?theorie und die harmonische Analyse wurden von ihm nachhaltig angeregt, und die allgemeine Topologie verdankt ihm wesentliche Impulse.Dar?ber hinaus hat Hahn, als einer der Gr?nder des Wiener Kreises, auch die Philosophie dieses Jahrhunderts stark beeinflu?t.
