Leopold Kronecker ( German: [ˈkʁoːnɛkɐ]; 7 December 1823 – 29 December 1891) was a German mathematician who worked on number theory, algebra and logic.
Leopold Kronecker's primary contributions were in the theory of equations. He made major contributions in elliptic functions and the theory of algebraic numbers.
Leopold Kronecker (born December 7, 1823, Liegnitz, Prussia [now Legnica, Poland]—died December 29, 1891, Berlin, Germany) was a German mathematician whose primary contributions were in the theory of equations and higher algebra.
May 29, 2018 · KRONECKER, LEOPOLD. KRONECKER, LEOPOLD (1823–1891), German mathematician. He was born in Liegnitz, brother of Hugo *Kronecker. Following the death of his uncle, a successful banker, Kronecker entered the business world.
Apr 10, 2007 · With this, too, constructivistic criticism of set theory began to emerge, as Leopold Kronecker started to make objections to such infinitary procedures. Simultaneously, there began a study of the topology of \(\mathbf{R}\), in particular in the work of Weierstrass, Dedekind, and Cantor.
Kronecker, Leopold (1823-1891) German mathematician and logician who vociferously opposed the work of Georg Cantor. He insisted that arithmetic and analysis should be based on whole numbers and is credited with saying, "God made the natural numbers; all else is the work of man" (Bell 1986, p. 477). He was a student and lifelong friend of Kummer.
1823-1891. German mathematician whose primary contributions dealt with elliptic functions and algebraic theory. Independently wealthy, Kronecker did not have to work and pursued mathematics for the love of the field. He became the editor of Crelle's journal after Crelle's death in 1855.
Leopold Kronecker was a German mathematician who worked on number theory, algebra and logic. He criticized Georg Cantor's work on set theory, and was quoted by Weber (1893) as having said, "Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk".
Quick Reference. (1823–91) German mathematician responsible for considerable contributions to number theory and other fields. But he is more often remembered as the first to cast doubts on non-constructive existence proofs, over which he disputed with Weierstrass and others.
This paper is about Leopold Kronecker reading Niels Henrik Abel’s results and ideas on the resolution of algebraic equations. When the young Kronecker began to work on algebraic equations, he went back and forth between Abel’s works and his own ideas.
