Who was Rudolf Lipschitz?

Rudolf Otto Sigismund Lipschitz was a German mathematician and professor at the University of Bonn from 1864. Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was his teacher. He supervised the early work of Felix Klein.

Lipschitz was Jewish. While Lipschitz gave his name to the Lipschitz continuity condition, he worked in a broad range of areas. These included number theory, algebras with involution, mathematical analysis, differential geometry and classical mechanics.

He wrote: Lehrbuch der Analysis; Wissenschaft und Staat; Untersuchungen über die Summen von Quadraten; Bedeutung der theoretischen Mechanik.
