Friedrich Hermann Schottky (July 24, 1851 - August 12, 1935) was a German mathematician who worked on elliptic, abelian, and theta functions and invented Schottky groups. He was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wrocław, Poland) and died in Berlin. July 24 is the 205th day (206th in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, with 160 days remaining. ... 1851 (MDCCCLI) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Friday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

In complex analysis, an elliptic function is, roughly speaking, a function defined on the complex plane which is periodic in two directions. ... For the purposes of algebraic geometry over the complex numbers, an abelian variety is a complex torus (a torus of real dimension 2n that is a complex manifold) that is also a projective algebraic variety of dimension n, i. ... In mathematics, theta functions are special functions of several complex variables. ... Wrocław. ... This article is about the capital of Germany. ...
After obtaining his doctorate, Schottky taught at the University of Berlin from 1875 until 1882 when he was appointed professor of mathematics in Zurich.
Schottky's thesis also discusses conformal mappings of domains bounded by circular and
Schottky's Theorem (1904) is related to Picard's Theorem.
