Ernst Kummer, caricature C015 / 6704
Ernst Kummer (1810-1893). Caricature of the German mathematician Ernst Eduard Kummer. Kummer trained German army officers in ballistics. Afterwards, he taught for 10 years in a gymnasium, the German equivalent of high school, where he inspired the mathematical career of Leopold Kronecker. Kummer made several contributions to mathematics including codifying some of the relations between different hypergeometric series, known as contiguity relations. He also proved Fermats last theorem for a considerable class of prime exponents

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the caricature of Ernst Kummer, a renowned German mathematician from the 19th century. In this comical illustration, Kummer's features are exaggerated, adding a touch of humor to his portrayal. Ernst Eduard Kummer was not only a brilliant mathematician but also had an intriguing career path. Initially training German army officers in ballistics, he later transitioned into teaching at a gymnasium for ten years. It was during this time that he became an influential figure in the mathematical journey of Leopold Kronecker, inspiring him to pursue mathematics further. Kummer's contributions to mathematics were significant and diverse. He codified various relations between different hypergeometric series, which came to be known as contiguity relations. Additionally, he achieved fame by proving Fermat's Last Theorem for a considerable class of prime exponents. This historical portrait showcases Kummer against a simple white background, emphasizing his presence and allowing viewers to focus on his distinctive appearance. With its monochrome aesthetic and artistic flair, this sketch-like image adds depth to our understanding of one of history's most prominent mathematicians. Gary Brown/Science Photo Library has skillfully captured the essence of Ernst Kummer through this artwork that combines elements of comedy and science seamlessly.
