Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award
The Alfred Ackermann–Teubner Memorial Award for the Promotion of Mathematical Sciences recognized work in mathematical analysis. It was established in 1912 by engineer Alfred Ackermann-Teubner (1857–1941), and was an endowment of the University of Leipzig.
It was awarded 14 times between 1914 and 1941. Subsequent awards were to be made every other year until a surplus of 60,000 marks was accumulated within the endowment, at which time, the prize was to be awarded annually. The subjects included:
- History, philosophy, teaching
- Mathematics, especially arithmetic and algebra
- Mechanics
- Mathematical physics
- Mathematics, especially analysis
- Astronomy and theory of errors
- Mathematics, especially geometry
- Applied mathematics, especially geodesy and geophysics.
