  Klein biography
Klein was appointed professor at Erlangen, in Bavaria in southern Germany, in 1872.
Klein's synthesis of geometry as the study of the properties of a space that are invariant under a given group of transformations, known as the Erlanger Programm (1872), profoundly influenced mathematical development.
Klein initiated a correspondence with Poincaré;, and soon a friendly rivalry ensued as both sought to formulate and prove a grand uniformization theorem that would serve as a capstone to this theory.

 Why A Felix Klein Prize?
The mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925) is generally acknowledged as a pioneer with regard to the close connection between mathematics and applications which lead to solutions to technical problems.
Klein's success in his efforts to open up modern mathematical methods and theories to wider circles was based on his international reputation as a renowned mathematician.
Klein strived in an international context -- in 1908 at the IV International Congress of Mathematicians in Rome, he was elected as chairman of the International Commission of Mathematical Instruction -- for a reform of the teaching of mathematics ``from primary school to university''.

Citation for the 2005 ICMI Felix Klein Award to Professor Ubiratan D'Ambrosio
The second Felix Klein Medal of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) is awarded to Professor Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, Brasil.
His contribution has played a key role in legitimating alternative forms of mathematical activity and in elaborating the now-familiar idea that the quasi-mathematical knowledge of the learner can be built upon rather than rejected.
