This is a list of things named after the German mathematician

Karl Weierstrass Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass (german: link=no, Weierstraß ; 31 October 1815 – 19 February 1897) was a German mathematician often cited as the "father of modern analysis". Despite leaving university without a degree, he studied mathematics ...

Weierstrass factorization theorem In mathematics, and particularly in the field of complex analysis, the Weierstrass factorization theorem asserts that every entire function can be represented as a (possibly infinite) product involving its zeroes. The theorem may be viewed as an ...

Weierstrass function In mathematics, the Weierstrass function is an example of a real-valued function that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. It is an example of a fractal curve. It is named after its discoverer Karl Weierstrass. The Weierstr ...

Weierstrass M-test In mathematics, the Weierstrass M-test is a test for determining whether an infinite series of functions converges uniformly and absolutely. It applies to series whose terms are bounded functions with real or complex values, and is analogous t ...

Weierstrass point In mathematics, a Weierstrass point P on a nonsingular algebraic curve C defined over the complex numbers is a point such that there are more functions on C, with their poles restricted to P only, than would be predicted by the Riemann–Roch theor ...

Weierstrass preparation theorem In mathematics, the Weierstrass preparation theorem is a tool for dealing with analytic functions of several complex variables, at a given point ''P''. It states that such a function is, up to multiplication by a function not zero at ''P'', a p ...
