In 1826, August Leopold Crelle founded in Berlin the journal that still bears his name. Crelle's journal, for a long time the top mathematical journal in the world, has been intimately linked to the University of Berlin and to the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
This day will focus on the personality and work of August Leopold Crelle in Berlin in the first half of the 19th century with his dual role in public works in Berlin, on the one hand, and being patron of one of the most important mathematical journals on the other. His musical compositions, a little known aspect of his work, will also feature. The day will also include historical talks tracking down the development of the concept of moduli and parameter space in mathematics, starting from Bernhard Riemann's fundamental paper Theorie der Abelschen Functionen published in Crelle's journal.
