Marcel Grossmann and His Contribution to the General Theory of Relativity

“…An important early activity of the Society was the inauguration of a long-term editorial project publishing the writings of Leonhard Euler (1707-1783). 29 In 1911, Grossmann published a detailed fiftypage report on mathematics instruction at the ETH, as part of a broad report on mathematics education in Switzerland, requested by the Commmission internationale de l'Enseignement mathématique. 30 Earlier, he had pushed for the establishment of holiday courses for mathematics teachers at Swiss gymnasia and middle schools.…”
