 | | Born in Munich, Germany on February 17 1891, Fraenkel studiet mathematics at the University of Munich, University of Berlin, University of Marburg and University of Breslau; after graduating, he lectured at the University of Marburg from 1916 on, and was promoted to professor in 1922. |
 | | Fraenkel left Marburg six years later, in 1928; after a year of teaching at the University of Kiel, he moved to Jerusalem in 1929, four years after the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's founding, where he spent the rest of his career. |
 | | Fraenkel's first work was on Hensel's p-adic numbers and on the theory of rings; he is, however, most well-known for his work on axiomatic set theory, publishing his first major work on the topic ("Einleitung in die Mengenlehre") in 1919. |
