Academic genealogy of Siegfried Hess

The subsequent list of names provides the location of the university and the year from which and when the corresponding man received, possibly "in absentia", his (first) doctoral degree; followed by the title of the underlying thesis. The (principal) thesis supervisor of each man was the next one on the list.

Arnold J. W. SOMMERFELD (1868 - 1951)

Ch. Felix KLEIN (1849 - 1925)

The geometer and physicist PLÜCKER clearly was KLEIN's teacher, but he died a few months before KLEIN's final examination on 12. Dec. 1868. Since the analyst Rudolph O. S. LIPSCHITZ (1832 - 1903) was in charge of that examination, some sources consider him as KLEIN's (second) supervisor.
