In 1886, he became a professor at the Leibniz University Hannover, Technische Hochschule Hannover in Hanover, Germany. His interests included mathematics, spectroscopy, geodesy, and astrophysics. In addition to pure mathematics, he did experimental work studying spectral lines of various elements (together with Heinrich Kayser), and was very interested in the application of this wo ...
