Der Band dokumentiert eine Wanderausstellung, die im Rahmen des Jahres der Mathematik 2008 in sieben deutschen Stadten gezeigt wird. Die Ausstellung fuhrt die Tatigkeit judischer Mathematiker in Deutschland von der rechtlichen und politischen Gleichstellung judischer Burger im 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Verfolgung und Vertreibung im Nationalsozialismus vor Augen. Sie stellt dar, wie im deutschen Kaiserreich und in der Weimarer Republik judische Mathematiker in allen Bereichen der mathematischen Kultur zunehmend eine tragende Rolle spielten, und sie erinnert an Emigration, Flucht und Ermordung...

Although the emperor's wreath is omnipresent in Roman art, little attention has been paid to it in classical scholarship, a gap filled by the present work. With recourse to archaeological and written sources, form, function and meaning of the wreaths in (primarily) imperial portraits are, for the first time, analysed and interpreted systematically.

Their employment in cult, triumphs and the military domain is studied, as well as the development of a particular oak wreath, the so-called corona civica, into the imperial wreath par...

A companion publication to the international exhibition "Transcending Tradition: Jewish Mathematicians in German-Speaking Academic Culture," the catalogue explores the working lives and activities of Jewish mathematicians in German-speaking countries during the period between the legal and political emancipation of the Jews in the 19th century and their persecution in Nazi Germany. It highlights the important role Jewish mathematicians played in all areas of mathematical culture during the Wilhelmine Empire and the Weimar Republic, and recalls their emigration, flight or death after 1933....
