Felix Hausdorff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Felix Hausdorff (November 8, 1868 – January 26, 1942) was a German mathematician who is considered to be one of the founders of modern topology and who contributed significantly to set theory, descriptive set theory, measure theory, function theory, and functional analysis. |
 | | Hausdorff studied at the University of Leipzig, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1891. |
 | | Hausdorff was the first to state a generalization of Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis; his Aleph Hypothesis, which appears in his 1908 article Grundzüge einer Theorie der geordneten Mengen, is equivalent to what is now called the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis. |
