Laurent Mazliak (IMJ, PMA), Pavel Sisma
TL;DR
This paper examines how the First World War and subsequent political changes influenced the development of the mathematical community in Brno between 1900 and 1930.
Contribution
It provides a historical analysis of the impact of WWI and political shifts on the mathematical community in Brno during the early 20th century.
Findings
The war affected the growth and composition of the mathematical community.
Political changes led to shifts in academic and scientific institutions.
The evolution reflects broader socio-political transformations in the region.
Abstract
In the present paper, we study the evolution of the mathematical community in Brno (Br\"unn in German), the Moravian maintown, in the years between 1900 and 1930. In particular, we want to discuss how the Great War and its consequences (creation of Czechoslovakia and shift of power from the Germans to the Czechs) had an effect on this evolution.
