Most people have heard of the Mobius band. But the work and influence of August
Mobius are more far-reaching than a topological toy. For some fifty years of the
nineteenth century, August Mobius taught astronomy and researched in mathematics
at Leipzig University. During those years, which saw the German nation move
towards unification, German mathematics developed into the most powerful and
influential in the world and German astronomers became the world leaders. How
did this come about? In this fascinating, richly illustrated, and accessible
book, leading scholars assess the contribution of Mobius and others of his time
to the practice of mathematics and astronomy today. Mobius and his band has been
written for all those interested in the historical development of ideas and
their legacy, and thus both the general reader and specialists in particular
fields will find much of interest.
