Paul Koebe

Paul Koebe (15 February 1882 – 6 August 1945) was a 20th-century German mathematician. His work dealt exclusively with the complex numbers, his most important results being on the uniformization of Riemann surfaces in a series of four papers in 1907–1909. He did his thesis at Berlin, where he worked under Hermann Schwarz. He was an extraordinary professor at Leipzig from 1910 to 1914, then an ordinary professor at the University of Jena before returning to Leipzig in 1926 as an ordinary professor. He died in Leipzig.

gollark: The states of the particles are related in some weird way, is all.
gollark: That... okay, I don't know how quantum entanglement works mathematically and just have a vague conceptual idea, but it doesn't seem like it can magically produce momentum.
gollark: What? That makes no sense.
gollark: I am not going to put in the effort to read tons of this and extract a coherent narrative which probably isn't there, because frankly it does not seem worth my time, or anyone's.
gollark: Well, it explains random facts about things, and in some cases non-facts, but it doesn't... actually say anything more than "here are some random facts about things".
