A Brief Look at George Friedrich Bernhard Riemann

George Frideric Handel was born in Halle, Germany on February 23, 1685. He expressed an interest in music at an early age. While his mother encouraged this love of music, his father, George Handel, was not supportive of him pursuing music as a career, and pushed him towards a career in law. However, when Handel was 9, a duke heard him playing the organ and persuaded his father to let Handel study under Friedrich Zachow (the organist at the Liebfrauenkirche at Halle) who instructed him in the organ as well as composing. Handels’ father died when he was 12, leaving him as the only son of that marriage. This put more responsibility on Handel to maintain his family, but it also relieved most of the objection of his music studies. In

David Hilbert was born in Konigsberg, Prussia on January 23, 1862 and went on to pursue a career in mathematics in his mother country before receiving a doctorate in 1885 for his study and thesis of invariant theory (David Hilbert, n.d.). Hilbert went on to begin a professional academic career at Konigsberg, where he taught until 1895 when he was "appointed to the chair of mathematics at the University of Gottingen, a post that he would hold for the remainder of his life.

Telemann was born on march 14 1681.He passed June 25 1767.In 1697 his students were sent to Gymnasium Andreanum where his musical talent flourished, supported by school authorities, including the rector himself. He learned by himself to play the flute recorder double bass violin recorder and other instruments.Telemann was born in Magdeburg, then the capital of the Duchy of Magdeburg, Brandenburg-Prussia. His father Heinrich, deacon at the Church of the Holy Spirit (Heilige-Geist-Kirche), died when Telemann was four. The future composer received his first music lessons at 10, from a local organist, and became immensely interested in music in general, and composition in particular. Despite opposition from his mother and

Heinrich Schliemann was born in Beubukow, Germany in 1822 and he died in 1890 at Naples, Italy. He received little education as a child, and first was enrolled at school at age 9. But he was later removed after his father could no longer afford payments, as he was accused of stealing church money. In the Christmas of 1829 Heinrich's father gave him a book entitled, an illustrated history of the world, by Ludwig Jerrer. These, along with other classical stories read to him by his father, especially Homer's Iliad, inspired him to one day uncover the city of Troy.

Although he is a worthy archaeologist who's findings are remarkable and have influenced the current society of today and the future generations, many suspicions arose by scholars and archaeologists of his time and of today about the accuracy and authenticity of his findings.

Before Stauffenberg made that decision, he declined multiple offers, however a series of events changed his mind. Eventually, Stauffenberg attempted to kill Adolf, which is known as the July Plot. Stauffenberg was caught by other officers earlier that day. As a result of this Hitler’s orders, Stauffenberg was to be executed for his crimes the day after. (Claus Von Stauffenberg, History Net)

Galileo Galilei Galileo followed his families’ footsteps by studying medicine at the University of Pisa. Later, he was inspired to study time intervals. He convinced his father to let him change his study to mathematics and natural philosophy. Galileo created many things such as the thermo scope, the hydrostatic balance, and ideas for the pendulum clock. He succeeded in experiment, theory and mathematics.

Ludwig Leichhardt was born on the 23rd October 1813 in the village of Trebatsch. He was the forth son and sixth of the eight children of Christian Hieronymus Matthias Leichhardt, farmer and royal inspector and his wife Charlotte Sophie. on the 23rd of May Leichhardt was awarded a medal by the royal geographical society of London for recognition of the increased knowledge of Australia.

George Frederick Handel was a baroque composer and was born in Halle, Germany in on February 23, 1685. He later died April 14, 1759 in London, England. His father did not want him to pursue his career in music. Handel’s father didn’t even allow him to own a musical instrument. But his mother helped and supported him. He practiced secret because of his mother’s support. He was later given the chance as a young boy to play the organ for the duke’s court in Weissenfels. In Weissenfels he met Frideric Wilhelm Zachow an organist and composer. Zachow was impressed with his ability and Handel became a pupil of his. Zachow taught him the organ, violin, oboe, and helped with composition. Handel began to compose music at the young age of 10. He composed

To begin, Lichtenberg was born in December 3, 1875 at Ohlau in the “Prussian province of Silesia” where he grew up a normal childhood, being the second oldest of five siblings and, of course, went to school. His town had a

It is almost certain that his mother taught him at home until he was eight. The Friedrichskolleg, also known as the Collegium Fridericianum, had a junior section which David attended for two years before entering the gymnasium of the Friedrichskolleg in 1872. Although this was reputed to be the best school in Königsberg, the emphasis was on Latin and Greek with mathematics considered as less important. Science was not taught at all in the Friedrichskolleg. The main approach to learning was having pupils memorise large amounts of material, something David was not particularly good at. Perhaps surprisingly for someone who was to make a gigantic impact on mathematics, he did not shine at school. In later life he described himself as a "dull and silly" boy at the Friedrichskolleg. Although doubtless there is modesty in these words, nevertheless they probably reflect Hilbert's own feeling about his school days. In September 1879 he transferred from the Friedrichskolleg to the Wilhelm Gymnasium where he spent his final year of schooling. Here there was more emphasis on mathematics and the teachers encouraged original thinking in a way that had not happened at the Friedrichskolleg. Hilbert was much happier and his performance in all his subjects improved. He received the top grade for mathematics and his final report

Gustav Stresemann was born May 10th 1878. as the son of a wealthy restaurant owner and tavern. In his early years he helped in the family business and, since he was a lonely boy, he studiously pursued his studies. After attending the Andreas Real Gymnasium in Berlin, Stresemann studied literature, philosophy, and political economy at Berlin and Leipzig. During his studies he found he had leadership powers as well as the ability to remember and memorise literature.

In 1703 he graduated from St. Michael’s school. He was offered the job of and organist at Sangerhausen, but he turned that down. Then he got a job at Duke Johann Ernst in Weimar, which involved nothing

Friedrich Froebel, a German educationalist, was born on April 21, 1782 in Oberweissbach, Germany. When he was only nine months old, his mother passed away. His father, a Lutheran pastor, remarried when Froebel was four years old. Unfortunately, Froebel had a very unhappy childhood and was neglected by his father and stepmother. He spent most of his childhood outside in gardens. Spending so much time outside led him to develop a love of nature, which later influenced his views on the way children should be educated.

The Life of G.F. Handel George Frideric Handel was born on February 23rd, 1685 in Halle, Germany. Handel had a passion for music from the time he was capable of understanding it. His father Georg was a highly respected barber/surgeon (Cavendish, vol. 4, pg. 60), which did not believe in music as a career and wanted his son to study law. Georg thought a career in law would offer more prospects and stability (60).
