Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (31 August 1821 – 8 September 1894) was a German physicist and physician who made significant contributions in several scientific fields, particularly hydrodynamic stability.
Hermann von Helmholtz was a German scientist and philosopher who made fundamental contributions to physiology, optics, electrodynamics, mathematics, and meteorology. He is best known for his statement of the law of the conservation of energy.
Feb 18, 2008 · Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894) participated in two of the most significant developments in physics and in the philosophy of science in the 19th century: the proof that Euclidean geometry does not describe the only possible visualizable and physical space, and the shift from physics based on actions between particles at a distance to the field...
Hermann von Helmholtz was a German mathematician who trained as a medical doctor and made important contributions to mathematical physics, optics and acoustics as well as to physiology and psychology.
Hermann von Helmholtz, (born Aug. 31, 1821, Potsdam, Prussia—died Sept. 8, 1894, Charlottenburg, Berlin, Ger.), German scientist, one of the greatest of the 19th century. After training in medicine, he taught physiology and later physics at several German universities.
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand Helmholtz, ab 1883 von Helmholtz, (* 31. August 1821 in Potsdam; † 8. September 1894 in Charlottenburg bei Berlin) war ein deutscher Mediziner, Physiologe und Physiker. Als Universalgelehrter leistete er wichtige Beiträge zur mathematischen Theorie der Optik, Akustik, Elektrodynamik, Thermodynamik und Hydrodynamik. [1] .
Helmholtz’s work in electricity and magnetism revealed his conviction that classical mechanics was probably the best mode of scientific reasoning. He was one of the first German scientists to appreciate the work in electrodynamics of the British scientists Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell.
