Georg Alexander Pick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georg Alexander Pick (August 10, 1859, Vienna – July 26, 1942) was an Austrian mathematician, after whom Pick's theorem is named. He died in the Theresienstadt concentration camp.
Pick in 1911 introduced Albert Einstein with the work of Italian mathematicians Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro and Tullio Levi-Civita in the field of absolute differential calculus, which later in 1915 helped Einstein to successfully formulate General relativity.
