Hermann Weyl. Weyl began his teaching career at Göttingen, where he had a significant impact on the field of mathematics. His first book, Die Idee der Riemannschen Fläche (The Concept of a Riemann Surface), published in 1913, grew out of a lecture course he taught on Riemann surfaces.
9 November 1885. Elmshorn (near Hamburg), Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Died. 8 December 1955. Zürich, Switzerland. Summary. From 1923-38 Weyl evolved the concept of continuous groups using matrix representations. With his application of group theory to quantum mechanics he set up the modern subject.

As Weyl observed in 1925, If phenomenal insight is referred to as knowledge, then the theoretical one is based on belief —the belief in the reality of the own I and that of others, or belief in reality of the external world, or belief in the reality of God.
November 9, 1885–December 9, 1955. BY MICHAEL ATIYAH. H ERMANN WEYL WAS one of the greatest mathematicians of the first half of the twentieth century. He made funda-mental contributions to most branches of mathematics, and he also took a serious interest in theoretical physics.
Nov 9, 2021 · On November 9, 1885, German mathematician, theoretical physicist and philosopher Hermann Weyl was born. Weyl was one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. His widely varied contributions in mathematics linked pure mathematics and theoretical physics.
Dec 24, 2016 · German-Swiss-American mathematician Hermann Weyl appears to have been the first to write the general relativistic equations of cosmology in a form in which the galaxies could be regarded as staying at fixed coordinate locations (in what are now called co-moving coordinates), while the cosmic expansion was carried by a single function out in fron...
His contribution to the quantum theory of radiation was the invention of gauge fields. He is best known for his revolutionary advances in geometric function theory, the theory of compact groups, and theoretical physics. Institute for Advanced Study.
