Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award

Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award

The Alfred Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award for the Promotion of Mathematical Sciences recognized work in matematical analysis. It was established in 1912 by engineer Alfred Ackermann-Teubner (1857-01-31 – 1940) [cite web |url=http://209.85.171.104/translate_c?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://personen-wiki.slub-dresden.de/index.php/Ackermann,_Gustav_Benedictus_Alfred&prev=/search%3Fq%3DAckermann%25E2%2580%2593Teubner%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DjuG%26sa%3DG&usg=ALkJrhg8ZraMIHSqK79ScHVkozKMu37MEQ |title=Ackermann, Gustav Alfred Benedictus |accessdate=2008-09-04 |publisher=personen-wiki.slub-dresden.de] , and was an endowment of the University of Leipzig.

Jurists

In 1937, Constantin Carathéodory and Erhard Schmidt were invited to jury the award. [Georgiadou, p. 348] Along with Wilhelm Blaschke, Carathéodory was invited again in 1944 by the German Union of Mathematicians. [Georgiadou, p. 399]
