The correspondence between Moritz Pasch and Felix Klein (Q391335)

The article presents ten letters sent by Moritz Pasch to Felix Klein in the period 1882--1902. Since Pasch destroyed all the letters he received after having replied to them, the only extant part of his correspondence consists of letters written by himself that survived in the estates of the recipients. The author provides a statistic of the letters he was able to track down; the most numerous ones are exactly those addressed to Klein.NEWLINENEWLINEThe paper continues with the author's comments on the topics discussed in the correspondence, such as Pasch's philosophical views on the foundations of geometry, or his consultations with Klein concerning the empty second chair of mathematics at the University of Giessen. Finally, the main part of the paper contains English translations of the ten letters as well as transcripts of the German originals.NEWLINENEWLINETo sum up, this is a valuable contribution for understanding the personality of Moritz Pasch.
