Ernst Steinitz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernst Steinitz (June 13, 1871 – September 29 1928) was an German mathematician. He was born in Laurahütte (Siemianowice Śląskie), Silesia, Germany (now Siemianowice Śląskie, Poland) and died in Kiel, Germany.
In 1910 Steinitz published the very influential paper Algebraische Theorie der Körper (German: Algebraic Theory of Fields). In this paper he axiomatically studies the properties of fields and defines important concepts like prime field, perfect field and the transcendence degree of an field extension.
