Abstract
Abstract In the nineteenth century, German mathematics reached its peak. During this period, under German influence, mathematics (and especially pure mathematics) became a modern scientific discipline. German mathematicians took over from the French as the international leaders. They carried forward the programme of rigorization which had emerged in France after the revolution. Between 1800 and 1820 there was only one really important mathematician in Germany—Carl Friedrich Gauss—and young mathematicians used to go to Paris for more advanced studies. But only ten years later, the situation had changed drastically. You can get an impression of this change from the list of important contemporary mathematicians which Georg Simon Ohm drew up in 1838.
