Richard Courant
Richard Courant, born on January 8, 1888 in Hamburg, Germany, and died on January 27, 1972 in New York, USA, was one of the most outstanding mathematicians of the 20th century. He is renowned for his contributions to partial differential equations, mathematical physics, and mathematical analysis.
Sophus Lie
Sophus Lie (December 17, 1842 – February 18, 1899) was a Norwegian mathematician who founded the theory of continuous symmetry, known as Lie groups and Lie algebras. His work profoundly influenced mathematics and theoretical physics, especially in differential equations, geometry, and quantum mechanics. Born in Nærøy, Norway, Lie studied at the University of Christiania (now Oslo) and later in Berlin and Paris. He collaborated with Felix Klein on transformation groups. Lie groups and Lie algebras are now essential tools for describing continuous symmetries in modern science. Despite health issues, he continued research until his death. His contributions are recognized as among the greatest in 19th-century mathematics.
