Karl Friedrich August Gutzmer (1860–1924) was a German mathematician who was chairman of some German commissions about improvement of the teaching of mathematics.[1]
Life and work
Gutzmer was born near Schwerin but his family moved to Berlín when he was eight years old. In Berlin he studied in Friedrichswerdersche Gymnasium till 1881.[2] From 1881 to 1884 he attended mathematics lectures at Berlin University despite not being registered as a student.[3] He graduated in 1887 in Berlin.
He began his academic career publishing five articles in the Portuguese journal Jornal de Sciencias mathematicas e astronomicas (best known as Teixeira's Journal) between and 1890.[4] In 1893 he was awarded a doctorate submitting at the University of Halle a dissertation about certain partial differential equations. Married in the same year, he left his academic career to manage his wife's lands.[3] In 1894 he returned to teaching at the Technical University of Berlin and the following year he obtained his venia legendi at the university of Halle where he taught as assistant professor till 1899.[5]
From 1899 to 1905 he was full professor at the university of Jena. In 1905 he returned to Halle University where he remained till his death in 1924. He was rector of the university (1914-1915), chairman of the German Committee for Mathematical and Scientific Teaching (1908-1913), member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina from 1900 and his president from 1921.[3]
Gutzmer published more than forty works; among them, the reports about the activities of the teaching committee are specially relevant. He also wrote a History of the German Mathematical Society.[6]
