Arthur Korn correspondence, 1898-1934.
Autograph letters and postcards from European physicists and mathematicians to Korn. There are brief as well as long and technical letters, some sent to Korn as editor of PHYSIKALISCHE BERICHTE, some on the presentation of papers at French and German academies, some discussing theories of mathematical physics, and some of a personal nature. Among the correspondents are Albert Einstein, Emile Picard, Max Planck, and Wilhelm Roentgen.
German physicist. Arthur Korn was Professor at the University of Munich, 1895-1908, and the University of Berlin, 1914-1939. Korn came to the United States in 1939. Author of FREIE UND ERZUNGENE SCHWINGUNGEN, 1910, HANDBUCH DER PHOTOTELEGRAPHIE UND TELAUTOGRAPHIA, 1911, and studies in mathematical physics and the theory of potentials, he is credited with the first telegraphic transmission of photographs over circuit, in 1904.
