Von Ohain earned his doctorate at the university of Göttingen in Germany, which would prove to be useful as it would land him the job that would land him in the history books. Ernst Heinkel was a German scientist looking for a way to create a new attack plane for the German military, and Von Ohain had a very specific skill set that would allow him to aid in the invention of the modern jet aircraft. Hons had studied thermo and aerodynamics at university and it had given him an advantage over anyone

In 1915 she joined the Mathematical Institute in Göttingen and started working with Klein and Hilbert on Einstein's general relativity theory. Continuously working for her passion in mathematics in 1918 she proved two theorems that became to be her most know work; the theorem were basic for both general
