Gesammelte Abhandlungen I - Collected Works I - Hans Hahn Kartoniert (TB)

Like Descartes and Pascal Hans Hahn (1879-1934) was both an eminent mathematician and a highly influential philosopher. He founded the Vienna Circle and was the teacher of both Kurt Gödel and Karl Popper. His seminal contributions to functional analysis and general topology had a huge impact on the development of modern analysis. Hahn's passionate interest in the foundations of mathematics vividly described in Sir Karl Popper's foreword (which became his last essay) had a decisive influence upon Gödel. Like Freud Musil and Schönberg Hahn became a pivotal figure in the feverish intellectua l climate of Vienna between the two wars.Volume 1: The first volume of Hahn's Collected Works contains his path-breaking contributions to functional analysis the theory of curves and ordered groups.
