http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hurwitz

Adolf Hurwitz (26 March 1859- 18 November 1919) was a German mathematician, and one of the most important figures in mathematics in the second half of the nineteenth century (according to Jean-Pierre Serre, 'always something good in Hurwitz'). He was born in a Jewish family in Hildesheim, and died in Zurich, in Switzerland.

He was a doctoral student of Felix Klein in Leipzig, finishing a dissertation on elliptic modular functions in 1881. In 1884 he was offered a professorial position at Königsberg; there he encountered the young David Hilbert, on whom he had a major influence. He took a chair at the Eidgenössische Polytechnikum Zürich in 1892, and remained there for the rest of his life.

He was one of the early masters of the Riemann surface theory, and used it to prove many of the foundational results on algebraic curves; for instance Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem. This work anticipates a number of later theories, such as the general theory of algebraic correspondences, Hecke operators, and Lefschetz fixed-point theorem. He also had deep interests in number theory. He studied the maximal order theory (as it now would be) for the quaternions, defining the Hurwitz quaternions that are now named for him.

Am I right or what?

Well this thread is slightly more funny then I thought it would be.

Excellent. Sadly, this will give much shock to the many ridicules this thread will attract.

Also, Hitler was great!

This thread is hilarious.
Kudos!

Funny as the penis jokes in Stella. Great for 5 minutes, boring after a while.

Pretty cute, and I am sure that this thread will get a lot of views, but not so many replies.

I came into this thread with my sword drawn and my flame shield ready.

<sigh>
There will be other threads Lup, there will be other threads...

Well if your looking for a fight just start a thread that either takes a radical right view or left view on something and bam the wackos come out of the woodworks.

Problem is I'm a centrist and an agnostic, I'm radical middle baby.

He does not want to be a villain, me guesses.

You could play devils advocate. Or just higher Al Pacino to do it for you.

This definately counts as trolling. At least as far as the title goes. Try to exercise some better judgement.

Pfft, you're just afraid to commit. God either exists or he doesn't; the only position that is sure to be wrong is not taking a position.

There, is that enough flame fodder for you?

You hate fun.

well, abouut adolf h the germna schizofrenic, i think something like :sniper: just a moron.... but i bet that other one wasnt that stupid...

took you 5 minutes? :eek:

;)

p.s. serap, aren't you the guy who started the sovereignity thread as well? *raises eyebrows and says no more*

Everything changes, including my opinion on a matter. Some days I look up and I think maybe god does exist. Other days I go bah to hell with everyone.

Really my biggest fault is not being uncommiting as much as it is me willing to compromise my position whereas no one else will. God forbid a debate should actually be concluded on this forum.

Haha, gotta agree there. :)

Do you even know what trolling is?

Totally saw that coming, dude.

pwnd.

I'll admit that Adolph was a genius, but please point out to me the part which explains why he is a great man.

Euler was better.

Bwahahahaha! 260+ views and 23 or so replies! I love it! :D

Ok, you got me. But Hitler was a genius. So much for planning to defend his intelligence.

Life either exists on mars or it doesn't; the only position that is sure to be wrong is not taking a position. "I don't know," is not acceptable. It makes you sound weak.

Do you even know what trolling is?

Yes I do, do you? I posed this question "Is this trolling?"to a chat in which the mods regularly hang out..

Guess what a good porition of people said? Just waiting for one of the mods to wake up to ask them.

You hate fun.


I love fun. Have fun all the time. Just be glad I'm not a mod, I'd be having fun closing this thread. Common sense should have told you this wasnt a brilliant idea on a politically charged forum.

Then lets be glad that you're not a mod.

Alright now. We've had our fun, but there's obviously no discussion going on here, so iLock.
