Arthur Wieferich
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Josef Alwin Wieferich (April 27, 1884 – September 15, 1954) was a German mathematician and teacher, remembered for his work on number theory. He was born in Münster, attended the University of Münster (1903–1909) and then worked widely as a school teacher and tutor until his retirement in 1949.
Noted for five papers he published while at Münster:
- Beweis des Satzes, daß sich eine jede ganze Zahl als Summe von höchstens neun positiven Kuben darstellen lässt (1908)
- Über die Darstellung der Zahlen als Summen von Biquadraten (1908)
- Zur Darstellung der Zahlen als Summen von fünften und siebenten Potenzen positiver ganzer Zahlen (1909)
- Zum letzten Fermat'schen Theorem (1909)
- Zur Driecksgeometrie (1909)
His fourth paper led to the term Wieferich prime.
