 | | 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 and functional analysis. |
 | | He defined and studied partially ordered sets, Hausdorff spaces, and the Hausdorff dimension, proved the Hausdorff maximality theorem, solved what is now called the Hausdorff moment problem, and published philosophical and literary works under the pseudonym "Paul Mongré". |
 | | When the Nazis came to power, Hausdorff, who was Jewish, felt that as a respected university professor he would be spared from persecution. |
