The mathematician in question is Ernst Eduard Kummer. As its title indicates, this article focuses on a couple of non-number-theoretic aspects of Kummer's life and work: his philosophical and political outlook, and the somewhat convoluted history (also involving Weierstrass) of the Steiner Roman surface.
