Popis | Oswald Veblen (1881-1960) came to Princeton University in 1905 as one of the young preceptors. He spent most of his career in Princeton, but in our research, we concentrate on the first quarter century, from 1905 until the founding of the Princeton IAS in the early 1930s. During this time, Princeton mathematical community developed into the centre of mathematical research, and we would like to find out what Veblen’s role in this development was. It seems his travels to Europe as well as his excellent social skills were of crucial importance. |
