Biography
editBorn in Darmstadt, Hesse, Brill was educated at the University of Giessen, where he earned his doctorate under supervision of Alfred Clebsch. He held a chair at the University of Tübingen, where Max Planck was among his students.
In 1874, Max Noether and von Brill introduced the study of special divisors known as Brill–Noether theory.[2]: vii
In 1933, he joined the National Socialist Teachers League as one of the first members from Tübingen.[1]: 21
Legacy
editThe London Science Museum contains sliceform objects prepared by Brill and Felix Klein.[3]
