Christoph Gudermann (March 25, 1798 – September 25, 1852) was born in Vienenburg, Germany. He was the son of a school teacher and became a teacher himself after studying at the University of Göttingen, where his advisor was Karl Friedrich Gauss. He began his teaching career in Kleve and then transferred to a school in Münster. While there, Karl Weierstrass took Gudermann's course in elliptic functions, the first to be taught in any institute. Weierstrass was greatly influenced by this course, which marked the direction of his own research.

  • Christoph Gudermann (March 25, 1798 – September 25, 1852) was born in Vienenburg, Germany. He was the son of a school teacher and became a teacher himself after studying at the University of Göttingen, where his advisor was Karl Friedrich Gauss. He began his teaching career in Kleve and then transferred to a school in Münster. While there, Karl Weierstrass took Gudermann's course in elliptic functions, the first to be taught in any institute. Weierstrass was greatly influenced by this course, which marked the direction of his own research. His researches into spherical geometry and special functions focused on particular cases, so that he did not receive the credit given to those who published more general works. The Gudermannian function, or hyperbolic amplitude, is named after him. Gudermann died in Münster. (en)
  • Christoph Gudermann (* 25. März 1798 in Vienenburg; † 25. September 1852 in Münster) war ein deutscher Mathematiker. Er war der Sohn eines Schullehrers und wurde nach einem Studium an der Universität Göttingen ebenfalls Lehrer. Sein Doktorvater an der Universität war Carl Friedrich Gauß. Er wurde zuerst Lehrer in Kleve und wechselte dann zu einer Schule nach Münster. Während dieser Zeit unterrichtete er Karl Weierstraß unter anderem in elliptischen Funktionen. Dieser Unterrichtsstoff wurde davor noch in keinem anderen Institut abgehalten. Weierstraß war stark von dieser Vorlesung beeinflusst, so dass er selbst in diese Richtung weiterforschte. Gudermann erhielt nie den Ruhm für seine Forschungen über sphärische Geometrie und spezielle Funktionen, da er sich zu sehr auf Einzelfälle spezialisierte und nicht so viele Arbeiten zu den Themen veröffentlichte. Die Gudermannfunktion ist nach ihm benannt. (de)
