Title

¬Der geheimnisvolle Herr Bourbaki : Wer schrieb die "Elemente der Mathematik"?

Abstract

Fast alle heute lebenden Mathematiker sind davon überzeugt, daß Nicolas Bourbaki, der Verfasser des umfangreichen, aber noch keinesfalls vollendeten mathematischen Lehrwerkes und Autor vieler Beiträge in den mathematischen Fachzeitschriften der ganzen Welt, nicht existiert. Sie glauben vielmehr, Bourbaki sei lediglich der Deckname für eine Gruppe französischer Mathematiker. Herr Boas, Mitherausgeber der "Mathematical Reviews", vertrat die Ansicht sogar in einem Artikel der Encyclopaedia Britannica. Kaum war der Artikel veröffentlicht, da kamen die Herausgeber der Encyclopaedia in arge Verlegenheit. Sie erhielten einen geharnischten, von Nicolas Bourbaki unterzeichneten Brief, in dem er erklärte, daß er sich das Recht auf seine Existenz von niemandem streitig machen lasse. Um sich an Boas zu rächen, verbreitete Bourbaki seinerseits das Gerücht, der Mathematiker Boas existiere nicht, und die Buchstaben B. O. A. S. seien lediglich eine Tarnung für eine Gruppe von Herausgebern der "Mathematical Reviews".
