Mathematicians Fleeing from Nazi Germany is the first thoroughly documented account of this exodus. In this greatly expanded translation of the 1998 German edition, Reinhard Siegmund-Schultze describes the flight of more than 140 mathematicians, their reasons for leaving, the political and economic issues involved, the reception of these emigrants by various countries, and the emigrants' continuing contributions to mathematics. The influx of these brilliant thinkers to other nations profoundly reconfigured the mathematics world and vaulted the United States into a new leadership role in mathematics research. Based on archival sources that have never been examined before, the book discusses the preeminent emigrant mathematicians of the period, including Emmy Noether, John von Neumann, Hermann Weyl, and many others. The author explores the mechanisms of the expulsion of mathematicians from Germany, the emigrants' acculturation to their new host countries, and the fates of those mathematicians forced to stay behind. The book reveals the alienation and solidarity of the emigrants, and investigates the global development of mathematics as a consequence of their radical migration. An in-depth yet accessible look at mathematics both as a scientific enterprise and human endeavor, Mathematicians Fleeing from Nazi Germany provides a vivid picture of a critical chapter in the history of international science. 606 $aMathematicians$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMathematicians$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMathematicians$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aMathematicians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xRefugees$zGermany 606 $aGermans$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMathematics$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMathematics$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y1933-1945 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematicians$xHistory 615 0$aMathematicians$xHistory 615 0$aMathematicians 615 0$aMathematicians 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xRefugees 615 0$aGermans$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory 676 $a510.09/04 700 $aSiegmund-Schultze$b R$g(Reinhard)$01048673 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456303203321 996 $aMathematicians fleeing from Nazi Germany$92477108 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05002nam 2200649 450 001 9910797103703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8389-1336-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000434489 035 $a(EBL)2068950 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001521185 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12504611 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001521185 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11532711 035 $a(PQKB)10056174 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2068950 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2068950 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11066808 035 $a(OCoLC)911054586 035 $a(PPN)187475113 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000434489 100 $a20150626h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aIntellectual freedom manual /$fcompiled by the Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association ;
