Alfred Clebsch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Friedrich Alfred Clebsch (January 19, 1833 – November 7, 1872) was a German mathematician who made important contributions to algebraic geometry and invariant theory. His collaboration with Paul Gordan led to the introduction of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for spherical harmonics, which are now widely used in quantum mechanics.

Together with Carl Neumann he founded the mathematical research journal Mathematische Annalen.

In 1883 Adhémar Jean Claude Barré de Saint-Venant translated Clebsch's work on elasticity into French and published it as Théorie de l'élasticité des Corps Solides.
