 Purdue Professor Solves 68-Year-Old Math Problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The problem, known as the "Bieberbach conjecture", was formulated by the German mathematician Ludwig Bieberbach in 1916, and has defied the concentrated efforts of numerous prominent mathematicians ever since.
Tbe otber was that de Branges was scheduled for a visit to the Soviet Union in April, May and June under the exchange agreement between the Academy of Sciences of the USA and the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
In fact several false proofs of the Bieberbach conjecture litter the historical landscape; and it was the general expectation that some subtle error would be found in the present argument.

Bieberbach was appointed professor of mathematics in Basel in Switzerland, Frankfurt am Main in Germany, and the University of Berlin where he held the chair of geometry.
Bieberbach was managing editor of the Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung in 1934 and he published an "open letter" in the journal which was highly critical of Harald Bohr because he had attacked Bieberbach's racist views.
Ostrowski respected Bieberbach's contribution as a mathematician, and considered his political views were irrelevant in his remarkable contributions to mathematics.

 Max Dehn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the early 1920's Dehn introduced the result that would come to be known as the Dehn-Nielsen theorem; its proof would be published in 1927 by Jakob Nielsen.
In 1922 Dehn succeeded Ludwig Bieberbach at Frankfurt, where he stayed until he was forced to retire in 1935.
He stayed in Germany until January 1939, when he fled to Copenhagen, and then to Trondheim, Norway, where he took a position at the Technical University.

Bieberbach und Brouwer protestierten bei Ferdinand Springer, allerdings erfolglos, worauf sie ihm mangelndes Nationalgefühl vorwarfen.
Bieberbach, der sich für eine "Deutsche Mathematik" einsetzte, sei es aus persönlicher Überzeugung oder um den Stellenwert der Mathematik in den Augen der Nationalsozialisten zu steigern, griff diese Begriffe auf und ordnete fast alle bekannten Mathematiker diesen Typen zu.
Ludwig Bieberbach hielt mit seiner Meinung auch öffentlich nicht hinter dem Berg und tat sie in zahlreichen Vorträgen kund.

It is a well-informed biographical account of Bieberbach covering eighty pages, and drawing on a wide range of published and manuscript sources.
The narrative begins with Bieberbach's activities in the Weimar Republic; his opposition to David Hilbert, the leading and internationally-renowned German mathematician, in the debate over intuitionism (mentioned in Chapter Two); and the question of whether or not German mathematicians and/or the DMV should attend the International Congress of Mathematics in Bologna in 1928.
The last chapter consists of sixteen biographical profiles (Wilhelm Blaschke to Wilhelm Suess) culminating in a eulogy to Suess's qualities as representative and propagandist of mathematics in the Nazi period.

French-American mathematician who in 1984 proved the Bieberbach conjecture.
This conjecture, posed by German mathematician Ludwig Bieberbach in 1916, dealt with properties of maps, specifically with mapping the surface of one shape onto another.
One example of this procedure is the mapping of Earth's spherical surface onto a flat map.

 Shark Blog: Boycotting Israel
and read this story of an otherwise talented mathematician, Ludwig Bieberbach, who became a Nazi and took increasing measures to eradicate Jewish mathematicians from German academia, because it was the fashionable thing to do.
Moreover, we in the US are apt to think of anti-Semites as gutter trash: unintelligent, uneducated people, the sort you'd see on Jerry Springer.
But as the Bieberbach quote, the current anti-Israel petitions, and 'Arab intellectuals' all aptly demonstrate, it's possible for the entire range of a society to be infected with an irrational worldview that must be confronted.

It details the consequences of their actions on their colleagues and on the practice and organs of German mathematics, including its curricula, institutions, and journals.
Throughout, Segal's focus is on the biographies of individuals, including mathematicians who resisted the injection of ideology into their profession, some who worked in concentration camps, and others (such as Ludwig Bieberbach) who used the "Aryanization" of their profession to further their own agendas.
Some of the figures are no longer well known; others still tower over the field.
