Ferdinand Gotthold

Managing Real Estate Broker with Fathom Realty PB00068179

Ferdinand Gotthold was born in Berlin, Prussia back in 1823 to Johan and Helene. Even at an early age his talent was remarkable which of course is the rest of the story.  

His health was another matter suffering for various health issues throughout his life one of which was meningitis. In 1837, he enrolled at the Gymnasium at 14, by the following year he had learned all the material taught at the school. he left for a short time with his mother taking a trip to England. In 1844, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Breslau. In 1847, he taught at the university. Sadly, he died in 1852 from tuberculosis, he was 29.

What he did in five years from 1847-1852 is nothing short of amazing. For you, math people I’m writing about Ferdinand Gotthold Max Eisenstein. His accomplishments in the field of mathematics include Eisenstein’s criterion, Eisenstein ideal, Eisenstein’s integer and Eisenstein’s prime just to name a few. his specialty was quadratic partitions of prime number and reciprocity laws. Whatever the heck that means. Until tomorrow keep a smile on your face and a penny in your pocket

I'm good at math when there is a dollar sign but what he did is far above my abilities.

Good morning James,

Another one that was studied a long time ago!

Wonder what he would think of not using a slide rule or what more he would have established.

Make yourself an astonishing day.

Hi James... can't say I ever heard about any of these Eisenstein formulas, but was happy to read about a fellow Prussian who contributed so much (even if I don't understand any of it).

Haha, I recall his name from my teachings in math, but as I sit here today, I couldn't tell you what his work was about.

Hi James, 

His life was taken from the world much too young.  Who knows how far ahead the world of mathematics would have been...

James,

Since my father was a physics professor as one of his many endeavors, that was a name I knew that was bandied about in dinner conversations.  A
