Engel Friedrich Engel 1861–1941 German mathematician studied at the University of Leipzig and was a collaborator with Sophus Lie. "As a student Scheffers was greatly influenced by Sophus Lie who was professor at the University of Leipzig from 1886 to 1898. He followed Lie's suggestions in choosing topics for . . . his doctoral dissertation. . . Scheffers' favorite field of study was geometry and more specifically the differential geometry of intuitive space. In this area he was a master at discovering many properties of particular curves and surfaces and their representation; he also possessed a gift for giving an easily understandable account of them. . . " / Georg Scheffers German mathematician specialized in differential geometry. He was born in the village of Altendorf near Holzminden. Scheffers enrolled at the University of Leipzig where he studied with Felix Klein and Sophus Lie taking his doctorate degree in 1890. Scheffers was a coauthor with Lie for three of the earliest expressions of Lie theory. - DSB XII p. 150. 1892. hardcover books

Ex library Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory with call number gilt stamped on spine and library blind-stamp on front free end paper. Clean copy. FINE. RARE. FIRST EDITION. This is the first paper in the Zeitschrift fur physik in which Geiger and Bothe published the results of their collaboration which began in November 1913 at the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin. In 1908 Geiger and Rutherford investigated the charge and nature of the particle. They devised an electrical technique in order to count the individual particles and compare results with those obtained by Erich Regener who used the scintillation technique. Their ionization chamber was a cylinder at low pressure with a thin wire stretched coaxially. The wall of the cylinder had an entrance window at one end and was at high negative potential to the wire. An particle entering parallel to the wire generated a secondary avalanche multiplying the primary ionization effect a thousandfold. The resulting voltage step on the central wire was measured by a sensitive electrometer. In October 1912 Geiger went to Berlin and continued experiments on the counting of particles. Varying the form and dimensions of the central electrode he found an arrangement which came to be known as the Spitzenzahler or "point counter" since "the whole working of the apparatus depends on the point of the needle." The great advantage of this device was that in addition to particles it could for the first time count particles as well as other types of radiation. Geiger became the editor of the Zeitschrift fur physik beginning in 1936. DSB V pp. 330-333. Zeitschrift fur physik, 6 (1921). hardcover books
