Göttingen School of Mathematical Physics

The Göttingen School of Mathematical Physics was a prominent group of scientists in the early 20th century centered at the University of Göttingen, Germany. They developed advanced mathematical techniques that significantly contributed to the foundation of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics. Key figures, such as Max Born and Werner Heisenberg, collaborated to formalize how particles behave at very small scales. Their work combined rigorous mathematics with physical theories, helping to establish quantum mechanics as a fundamental part of modern physics. This school earned a reputation for integrating deep mathematical insights with physical principles, greatly advancing our understanding of the atomic and subatomic world.
