Abstract
Mathematical creativity is often said to be peculiar to young people. Counterexamples to this widespread opinion are indeed quite rare in the history of mathematics, but Weierstrass is one of them, and possibly the most remarkable. Even when he was 39, the age at which Riemann died, Weierstrass was still an unknown school teacher. Admittedly, by that time he had already written some five papers. Most of them, however, had remained in manuscript or had been printed in virtually unknown school programs.
