dbpprop:abstract
  • Grete (Henry-)Hermann was a German mathematician and philosopher. She studied mathematics at Göttingen under Emmy Noether, where she achieved her Ph.D. in 1926. Her doctoral thesis, Die Frage der endlich vielen Schritte in der Theorie der Polynomideale, published in Mathematische Annalen, is the foundational paper for computer algebra. It first established the existence of algorithms (including complexity bounds) for many of the basic problems of abstract algebra, such as ideal membership for polynomial rings. Hermann's algorithm for primary decomposition is still in use now. As Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, Hermann participated in the underground movement against the Nazis, but by 1936 she left Germany for Denmark and later England. She returned when World War II was over. In her later years she was more interested in politics and philosophy than in physics and mathematics. As a philosopher, Hermann had a particular interest in the foundations of physics. In 1935 she discovered a flaw in John von Neumann's purported 1932 proof, which maintained that a hidden variable theory of quantum mechanics was impossible. The result went unnoticed by the physics community until it was rediscovered by John Stewart Bell. Werner Heisenberg, in chapter ten of The Part and The Whole discusses Grete Hermann's work.
  • Grete Hermann oder Grete Henry war eine deutsche Mathematikerin, Physikerin, Philosophin und Pädagogin, die mit Physikern wie Werner Heisenberg und anderen Wissenschaftlern ihrer Zeit in Diskussion über die Entwicklung vor allem der modernen Quantenphysik stand.
  • Grete (Henry-)Hermann foi uma filósofa e matemática alemã. Ela estudou matemática em Göttingen, sob orientação de Emmy Noether; onde recebeu seu Ph.D. em 1926. Sua tese de doutorado, Die Frage der endlich vielen Schritte in der Theorie der Polynomideale, publicada em Mathematische Annalen, é o trabalho inicial para álgebra computacional. Este trabalho é o primeiro a estabelecer a existência de algoritmos (incluindo nível de complexidade) para muitos dos problemas básicos da álgebra abstrata, tais como agrupamentos ideais para anéis polinomiais. O Algoritmo de Hermann para decomposição primária é ainda usado hoje. Como uma filosofa, Hermann tinha um interesse particular pelos fundamentos da física. Em 1935 ela descobriu uma falha na suposta prova de John von Neumann de 1932 que uma teoria de variáveis ocultas da mecânica quântica era impossível. Este resultado passou despercebido pela comunidade cientifica até que foi redescoberto por John Stewart Bell.
