The wonderful
Mathematical Genealogy Project
lets one track mathematical ancestry (through PhD advisors). Below is
one branch of my ancestry, with year and university of PhD if
available. (Where there were two advisors,
I don't take the path through the advisor in parenthesis.)
Boyle [University of Washington, 1983] -
Lind
[Stanford University, 1973]-
Ornstein [University of Chicago, 1957] -
Kaplansky
[University of Chiago, 1941] -
Saunders Mac Lane
[Gottingen 1934] -
Hermann Weyl [Gottingen, 1908] (and I. Paul Bernays) -
Hilbert [Konigsberg 1885] -
Lindemann [Nurnberg 1873] -
Klein [Bonn 1868] -
Plucker [Marburg 1823] (and Lipschitz) -
Gerling [Gottingen 1812] -
Gauss [Helmstedt 1799] -
Pfaff [Gottingen 1786]
