Everything about Edmund Landau totally explained
Edmund Georg Hermann (Yehezkel) Landau (
February 14,
1877 –
February 19,
1938) was a
German Jewish
mathematician and author of over 250 papers on
number theory.
Edmund Landau was born in
Berlin to a wealthy
Jewish family. His father was Leopold Landau, a gynecologist. His mother was Johanna Jacoby from a well known
German banking family.
Landau studied
mathematics at the
University of Berlin and
received his doctorate in
1899 and his
habilitation (the post-doctoral
qualification required in German universities) in
1901.
Landau taught at the University of
Berlin from 1899 until 1909 and held
a chair at the
University of Göttingen from 1909 until he was forced out
by the
Nazi regime in 1933. Thereafter he lectured only outside of
Germany.
In 1903 Landau gave a much simpler proof than was then known of the
prime number theorem and later presented the first systematic
treatment of
analytic number theory in the
Handbuch der Lehre von der Verteilung des Primzahlen, or simply the
Handbuch. He also made important contributions
to
complex analysis.
Hardy wrote that no one was ever more passionately devoted to mathematics than Landau. This is amply evidenced by his small book on the axiomatic foundations of analysis and two very important books on number theory.
