The author of this biography has done just this. A detailed study of original sources has made it possible to uncover new connections; to create a more precise representation of this important mathematician, scientific organizer, and educational reformer; and to identify misconceptions. Because of his edition of Julius Plücker's work on line geometry and due to his own contributions to non-Euclidean geometry, Klein was already well known abroad before he received his first full professorship at the age of 23. By exchanging ideas with his most important cooperation partner, the Norwegian Sophus Lie, Klein formulated his Erlangen Program. Various other visionary programs followed, in which Klein involved mathematicians from Germany and abroad. Klein was the most active promoter of Riemann's geometric-physical approach to function theory, but he also integrated the analytical approaches of the Weierstrass school into his arsenal of methods. Klein was a citizen of the world who repeatedly travelled to France, Great Britain, Italy, the United States, and elsewhere. Despite what has often been claimed, it must be emphasized that Klein expressly opposed national chauvinism. He promoted mathematically gifted individuals regardless of their nationality, religion, or gender. Many of his works have been translated into English, French, Italian, Russian, and other languages; more than 300 supporters from around the world made it possible for his portrait to be painted by the prominent impressionist Max Liebermann. Inspired by international developments, Klein paved the way for women to work in the field of mathematics. He was instrumental in reforming mathematical education, and he endorsed an understanding of mathematics that affirmed its cultural importance as well as its fundamental significance to scientific and technological progress. 001437630 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 2, 2021). 001437630 60010 $$aKlein, Felix,$$d1849-1925. 001437630 650_0 $$aMathematicians$$zGermany$$vBiography. 001437630 650_6 $$aMathématiciens$$zAllemagne$$vBiographies. 001437630 655_7 $$acollective biographies.$$2aat 001437630 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001437630 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 001437630 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2rvmgf 001437630 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437630 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030757846$$z9783030757847$$w(OCoLC)1246352693 001437630 830_0 $$aVita mathematica ;$$vv. 20.$$x1013-0330 001437630 852__ $$bebk 001437630 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-75785-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437630 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437630$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437630 980__ $$aBIB 001437630 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437630 982__ $$aEbook 001437630 983__ $$aOnline 001437630 994__ $$a92$$bISE
