Bernhard Neumann 's father was Richard Neumann, an engineer who worked for the electricity company AEG. The family lived in a wealthy district of Berlin. Bernhard attended school in Berlin spending three years in primary school followed by nine years at the Herderschule. As one might imagine mathematics was his best subject but at first he did not enjoy his other subjects very much at all. He found the teaching at the Herderschule rather uninspiring particularly the lessons on French and Latin. However, later in his school career things changed and Latin in particular became one of his favourite subjects. He began reading Latin for pleasure and found some Latin texts on scientific topics of particular interest. Neumann entered the University of Freiburg to study mathematics in 1928 and spent two semesters there before moving to the Friedrich-Wihelms University in Berlin. There he was influenced by an impressive collection of teachers including

Hanna Neumann 's maiden name was von Caemmerer. She attended Berlin University and there she was taught analytic and projective geometry by Bieberbach , differential and integral calculus by Schmidt and number theory by Schur Bieberbach Bernhard Neumann . As Bernhard was a Jew, he had been forced to leave Germany for England in 1933. (They had been secretly engaged since 1934.) Hanna studied at Oxford under Olgar Taussky-Todd and completed her doctorate in 1944. Hanna taught at Hull, then UMIST in Manchester until 1963. The year 1961-62 she spent with Bernhard at the Courant Institute in New York. While they were in New York the invitation arrived for both of them to set up mathematics at the Australian National University. In 1963 Hanna and Bernhard went to Australia where she was to spend the rest of her career.

BH neumann. VALE bernhard neumann 19092002. Emeritus Professor bernhard Hermann neumann, who provided the greatest inspirational influence in mathematics
http://www.amt.canberra.edu.au/bhnobit.html
VALE BERNHARD NEUMANN 1909-2002 Emeritus Professor Bernhard Hermann Neumann, who provided the greatest inspirational influence in mathematics in Australia over a 40-year period, died in Canberra on 21 October 2002 not long after happily celebrating his 93rd birthday. He first visited Australia for three months in 1959, during sabbatical leave, and fell in love with the country. So when, late in 1960, he was invited to found a Department of Mathematics in the research-focussed Australian National University, he was receptive to the idea. Within days of his permanent arrival on 2 October 1962, he also became involved in activities supporting the teaching of mathematics in schools. Bernhard had a great influence in the founding and administration of the Australian Mathematics Trust. He became a mentor and source of inspiration to Peter O’Halloran (1931-1994) who, while on the staff of the Canberra College of Advanced Education (later the University of Canberra) during the period of the early 1970s to the early 1990s, is acknowledged as the Founder of the Trust. Peter gained great strength from Bernhard’s encouragement, not only while Bernhard held his position as head of mathematics in the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Australian National University, but also after Bernhard’s retirement. Bernhard took an active personal part in the Trust’s activities. He was the Inaugural Chairman of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee, a position he held from 1980 to 1986. He was also the representative of the Canberra Mathematical Association (a sponsor of the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) for the Westpac Awards) on first the AMC Governing Board, and then on the Advisory Committee of the Trust. He was an active member of the Advisory Committee until his death.

Professor BH Neumann AC FAA FRS (1909-2002) Professor Bernhard Neumann, a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, celebrated his 90th birthday on 15 October 1999. He had played a dominant role in mathematics in Australia since his arrival in this country in 1962. Professor Neumann came to Australia to take up an appointment as the Foundation Chair of the Department of Mathematics within the Institute of Advanced Studies of the Australian National University. He and his late wife Hanna taught and influenced many young people with mathematical talent, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and their influence spread downwards into the schools. Hanna was Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics in the then School of General Studies (now the Faculties) at the ANU, and she was also a Fellow of the Academy. Bernhard Neumann's distinguished contributions to mathematics were many and varied, mostly on the theory of groups. His original work is to be found in over 100 papers, but in addition he is the author of two books and numerous reviews, and he wrote essays about a number of famous mathematicians. In his six-volume series, The Selected Works of B H Neumann and Hanna Neumann, are to be found fascinating commentaries of the life work of Hanna and himself, as well as about the many famous mathematicians and colleagues with whom they've been associated. Professor Neumann's long and distinguished career began in pre-war England, following his early studies to the doctorate level in Germany. By the time he arrived in Australia, his eminence had already been recognised through his election to Fellowship of the Royal Society.

    BERNHARD H. NEUMANN AWARDS
    Two mathematicians have been recognised during 1995 with Bernhard H. Neumann Awards by the Australian Mathematics Trust. These Awards are determined annually by the Trust to recognise sustained commitment to mathematics enrichment projects. Dr Kevin McAvaney , Senior Lecturer in Mathematics at Deakin University, was presented with his Award by Professor Neumann at a function at Deakin University presided by Deputy Vice Chancellor, Professor Daryl LeGrew on Wednesday 22 March, 1995. Dr McAvaney has run the mathematics sessions for several years at the Talented Children's Program run by Deakin University and the Barwon SW region of the Victorian Ministry of Education for students in the Geelong area. Since 1989, he has organised the Deakin University Mathematics Contest. Based on the model of University of Canberra's Mathematics Day, this Contest started in 1989. It is for Year 10 students in the Geelong area, and has been so successful that Dr McAvaney is considering including the Warrnambool area via video link. Through being a member of the school board of Belmont High School, Dr McAvaney has also helped implement a fast-track Year 7 to 12 program for talented students and has been part of a government initiative to establish a science and technology centre in Geelong.

    NZMS Newsletter 47, December 1989 CENTREFOLD Professor Bernhard Neumann Bernhard Hermann Neumann was born in Berlin on 15 October 1909. After studying at the Herderschule in Berlin and at the University of Freiburg, he obtained his Dr.phil. degree from the University of Berlin in 1932. He emigrated to Britain in 1933 (during a time of political upheaval in Germany), and continued his studies at Cambridge, where he was awarded a Ph.D. in 1935. Meanwhile he became secretly engaged to Hanna von Caemmerer, who had been a fellow student in Berlin, and in 1938 she also left for Britain, where they married. At that time Bernhard held a temporary assistant lecturership at Cardiff, but at the beginning of the Second World War he was interned for some weeks (as an enemy alien); upon his release he joined the British Army, serving in the Intelligence Corps from 1940 to 1945. In 1946 he was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Hull, and in 1948 he accepted a position at the University of Manchester, where he stayed for the next thirteen years. Hanna and Bernhard had five children: Irene, Peter, Barbara, Walter and Daniel. Hanna was able to complete her doctorate at the University of Oxford, and after the war she became an assistant lecturer at Hull, and later (in 1958) she too obtained a position in Manchester. During these years both Hanna and Bernhard established fine reputations as mathematicians, with common research interests in algebra. In particular, their joint paper with Graham Higman (published in 1949) on embedding theorems for groups is a famous one, underlying the theory of what are now known as HNN-extensions. Bernhard was awarded the Wiskundig Genootschap te Amsterdam Prize in 1949, and the Adams Prize of the University of Cambridge in 1952. He gained a D.Sc. from the University of Manchester in 1954 (and Hanna the same from the University of Oxford in 1955), and in 1959 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

The New Zealand Mathematical Society lost one of its foundation members, who was instrumental in establishing the NZMS in 1974 and was elected as an Honorary Life Member soon afterwards. Bernhard Hermann Neumann was born in Berlin-Charlottenburg, Germany in 1909, and after showing aptitude for mathematics at an early age he studied at university in Freiburg and Berlin, and gained his first doctorate (in group theory) in 1932, at the age of 22. He moved to England in 1933, and two years later completed a second doctorate at the University of Cambridge, from which he also won the Adams Prize. He married Hanna von Caemmerer (another mathematician) in 1938, and the couple had five children: Irene, Peter, Barbara, Walter and Daniel. Peter Neumann and Walter Neumann are also mathematicians well known to many readers of this Newsletter.

    REFLECTIONS ON THE FORTY-YEAR CAREER OF A HUSBAND-AND-WIFE TEAM OF MATHEMATICIANS
    Luise-Charlotte Kappe
    Department of Mathematical Sciences, SUNY at Binghamton
    Binghamton, NY 13902-6000
    Abstract. This speech was given on May 18, 2002 at the dinner banquet of the XXVI-th OSU-Denison Conference honoring Wolfgang Kappe on the occasion of his retirement.
    "It's a wonderful life" was the title of a talk I gave a month ago at the MAA Seaway Section meeting. Its subtitle: reflections on the career of a mathematician. This time my subtitle is: Reflections on the forty-year career of a husband-and-wife team of mathematicians. Very appropriately so, since we are celebrating our fortieth wedding anniversary in two weeks!
    Compared to the Neumann's, we were lucky. We had always our jobs at the same university and only had to pull up our stakes once going from Germany to the US, by the way, the same year the Neumann's moved to Australia. But let's start at the beginning:
    "Once upon a time" Wolfgang and Liselotte met where all mathematicians meet, that mythical place Oberwolfach. By the end of 1959 we both had gravitated to the Black Forest area within a month of each other, Wolfgang as one of the mathematicians in residence in Oberwolfach while writing his dissertation with Reinhold Baer in Frankfurt, and me starting my dissertation with Theodor Schneider in Freiburg.
    I heard about Wolfgang for the first time when Schneider mentioned that Kappe and Kegel, the two resident assistants in Oberwolfach, are named after two geometric objects, namely the cap of a sphere and the cone. Wolfgang heard about me for the first time from Erich Glock, my future brother-in-law and also a mathematician in residence in Oberwolfach. Once coming back from a visit in Freiburg, Erich reported that Theodor Schneider had brought along "ein Fraeulein Menger". Wolfgang replied as any Berliner would have: " Na und! (= so what!).
