Doctoral dissertations of Poles at the Georg August University of Göttingen: Mathematics
Abstract
The article provides information about the documents held in the archives of the Georg August University of Göttingen (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen), pertaining to the efforts of Poles who wanted to obtain a doctorate in mathematics. In the years 1892–1922, 10 Poles were awarded doctorates in exact sciences in Göttingen, including five in mathematics. Michał Feldblum from Warsaw, Hugo Steinhaus from Jasło and Arnold Walfisz from Warsaw received doctorates in pure mathematics, Władysław Bortkiewicz from Saint Petersburg in mathematical statistics and Jan Kroo from Kraków in mathematical physics. From the documents related to these five doctoral proceedings, the authors have extracted the information that has not been hitherto published, including the opinions on doctoral dissertations (by Hilbert, Landau, Lexis and Voigt), exam questions, opinions on the results achieved by doctoral students and handwritten résumés. The documents have been translated into Polish.
