Volume I consists of Kummer's number theory. It constitutes a unity of thought and spirit almost from first sentence to last. One of the joys of reading it is in the double spectacle: the steady train of mathematical content, unimpeded by lack of basic algebraic number theory; while here and there, to serve problems at hand, the deft ...
Volume II of Ernst Kummer's Collected Papers can be divided into four different parts. The first part covers his work on the hypergeometric function, and on repeated integrals of rational functions. In the second part (Algebraic Geometry), we see how the discovery of Kummer surfaces seems to have been an outgrowth of the authors interest in ...
Ernst Eduard Kummer (born 29 January 1810, Sorau, Brandenburg; died 14 May 1893 Berlin) was a German mathematician. At first he was a school teacher, teaching in a German high school gymnasium , where he inspired the Leopold Kronecker to become a mathematician.

and describes how Kummer’s proof strategy can generalize to solve the theorem for a broader set of primes. 1. Introduction Ernst Kummer was a 19th century mathematician who came across Fermat’s last theorem in attempts to generalize the law of quadratic reciprocity and study higher reciprocity laws. While he described those
The first piece of evidence we have about Ernst Eduard Kummer’s (1810- 1893) introduction of “ideal prime factors of a complex number” (idealer Primfactor einer complexen Zahl) in number theory is a letter he wrote to Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891) on October 18, 1845.1
Aug 10, 2022 · Ernst Eduard Kummer (29 January 1810 – 14 May 1893) was a German mathematician. Skilled in applied mathematics, Kummer trained German army officers in ballistics; afterwards, he taught for 10 years in a gymnasium, the German equivalent of high school, where he inspired the mathematical career of Leopold Kronecker.
