{"product_id":"9783031521348","title":"Felix Hausdorff","description":"Felix Hausdorff is a singular phenomenon in the history of science. As a mathematician, he played a major role in shaping the development of modern mathematics in the 20th century. He founded general topology as an independent mathematical discipline, while enriching set theory with a number of fundamental concepts and results. His general approach to measure and dimension led to profound developments in numerous mathematical disciplines, and today Hausdorff dimension plays a central role in fractal theory with its many fascinating applications by means of computer graphics. Hausdorff's remarkable mathematical versatility is reflected in his published work: today, no fewer than thirteen concepts, theorems and procedures carry his name. Yet he was not only a creative mathematician -- Hausdorff was also an original philosophical thinker, a poet, essayist and man of letters. Under the pseudonym Paul Mongré, he published a volume of aphorisms, an epistemological study, a book of poetry, an oft-performed play, and a number of notable essays in leading literary journals. As a Jew, Felix Hausdorff was increasingly persecuted and humiliated under the National Socialist dictatorship. When deportation to a concentration camp was imminent, he, along with his wife and sister-in-law, decided to take their own lives.","brand":"Egbert Brieskorn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48614611550526,"sku":"9783031521348","price":8089.98,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9783031521348_ba9d807e-9a9c-4643-8883-05a624552e0a.jpg?v=1715097971","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783031521348","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
