Juli 1985 Die Aktivitäten der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zur Herausgabe der Werke von Johannes Kepler haben ihren Ursprung darin, daß das Akademiemitglied Walther von Dyck (*1856 in Mün- chen) sich mit Kepler zu beschäftigen begann, vermutlich auf Anre- gung seines Freundes Oskar von Miller. Schon Anfang desjahrhun- derts war Walther von Dyck von Oskar von Miller um einen Vor- trag über Johannes Kepler gebeten worden und hatte bei den Vorbe- reitungen dazu festgcstcllt, daß ein großer Teil der Schriften Keplers in der einzigen damals existierenden Ausgabe der Gesammelten Wer- ke - welche der württcmbcrgische Gelehrte Christian Frisch zwi- schen 1858 und 1871 besorgt hatte - nicht berücksichtigt war. Wal- ther von Dyck begann, Keplers Manuskripte systematisch zu sam- meln; als erstes Ergebnis erschienen 1910 unter den Abhandlungen der mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Klasse unserer Akademie zwei wieder aufgefundene Prognostika auf diejahre 1604 und 1624, die Walther von Dyck am 5. November 1910 der Klasse vorlegte und die auch noch im gleichen Jahr gedruckt wurden.

    From Inertia to Action from Engines and Innovation (1991)

    George W. Lewis, NACA Director of Aeronautical Research from 1924 to 1942. FROM INERTIA TO ACTION At first the NACA watched European developments in engine technology without full awareness of their implications for American national security. In September 1936, George Lewis [5] visited Germany to evaluate reports of recent expansion and decentralization of German aeronautical facilities. He found that research under Adolf Baeumker was being funded and staffed on a grand scale hardly dreamed of in the United States. Baeumker reported directly to Hermann Goering, Hitler's Air Minister, and there seemed to be no limit to the funds available to finance Baeumker's grandiose scheme of aeronautical laboratories. The Germans, he wrote, were contemplating a long-range research program. Its major emphasis was to increase the speeds of airplanes, regardless of the expense. Lewis pointed out that, prior to Chancellor Adolf Hitler's rise to power, funding for the Deutsche Versuchsanstalt fur Luftfahrt (DVL) at Adlershof near Berlin, the German counterpart of Langley Laboratory, had been limited. Hitler apparently made unlimited funds available to Baeumker. For military reasons, the Germans had decided not to concentrate all their aeronautical research and development at one location; therefore, Adlershof was to be supplemented by two additional stations, one entirely devoted to engine research at Stuttgart, the other for more fundamental aerodynamic research at Braunschweig. A large and elaborate pressure-type wind tunnel had been completed at the University of Goettingen under the direction of the famous aerodynamicist Ludwig Prandt. Lewis noted the extensive facilities for aircraft engine research and testing at the DVL, in particular, altitude test facilities for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled engines.

    Section I.9. Free Groups, Free Products, and Generators and Relations

    I.9. Free Groups, Free Products, and Generators and Relations 1 Section I.9. Free Groups, Free Products, and Generators and Relations Note. This section includes material covered in Fraleigh’s Sections VII.39 and VII.40. We define a free group on a set and show (in Theorem I.9.2) that this idea of “free” is consistent with the idea of “free on a set” in the setting of a concrete category (see Definition I.7.7). We also define generators and relations in a group presentation. Note. To define a free group F on a set X, we will first define “words” on the set, have a way to reduce these words, define a method of combining words (this com- bination will be the binary operation in the free group), and then give a reduction of the combined words. The free group will have the reduced words as its elements and the combination as the binary operation. If set X = ∅ then the free group on X is F = hei. Definition. Let X be a nonempty set. Define set X−1 to be disjoint from X such that |X| = |X−1|. Choose a bijection from X to X−1 and denote the image of x ∈ X as x−1. Introduce the symbol “1” (with X and X−1 not containing 1). A −1 word on X is a sequence (a1, a2,...) with ai ∈ X ∪ X ∪ {1} for i ∈ N such that for some n ∈ N we have ak = 1 for all k ≥ n. The sequence (1, 1,...) is the empty word which we will also sometimes denote as 1.

  • Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany

    Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany

    POWER AND INITIATIVE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMANY THE CASE OF HUGO JUNKERS by RICHARD WILLIAM EDWIN BYERS (Under the direction of John Morrow) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between private enterprises and nation states in high technology research and applications. As the twentieth century progressed, this relationship became more contentious as state organs, citing national security priorities, attempted to assert their influence on private manufacturers. Nowhere is this relationship better illustrated than in the aircraft industry, and Germany’s geopolitical circumstances during the first half of the twentieth century provide an excellent framework to explore this intersection of interests. The dissertation focuses on the relationship between Professor Hugo Junkers and three successive state regimes in Germany between 1914 and 1934. Already a successful businessman and entrepreneur by the beginning of the First World War, Hugo Junkers continued to pursue plans for all- metal aircraft designs after war began despite wartime supply difficulties and widespread skepticism that such a craft would ever fly. Successful flight trials in 1915 lead to increased official interest in the Junkers firm as a possible military aircraft supplier, and military representatives began negotiations with Junkers over possible production of his aircraft designs. When these negotiations foundered, state officials accused Junkers of pursuing selfish objectives at the state’s expense, and increasingly intervened in the firm’s production processes. Professor Junkers fiercely resisted these incursions, and this resistance permanently damaged relations between the two parties. Throughout the life of the Weimar Republic, Junkers and state officials fought to control the firm’s production and design priorities.
