A list of names come to mind when you think about Germany and Mathematics, and studying one of the English-taught Mathematics programs at a German university really gives you the chance to follow into their footsteps. There is for example Gauss, who discovered the normal distribution, as well as Cantor and his set theory, to name just a few.
