Duren et al investigate the life of mathematician Robert Jentzsch. Jentzsch was born in Konigsberg on Nov 4, 1890, the youngest in a family of four children. After attending the Konigliches Wilhelms Gymnasium in Konigsberg and the Prinz-Heinrichs Gymnasium in Berlin, Jentzsch studied mathematics for one semester in Jena and then entered the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat zu Berlin in 1908. He studied in Munich during the years 1911-1912, but returned to Berlin in 1912. Concurrently with his mathematical studies, while performing at such a high level, Jentzsch had been actively writing poetry. He was a member of the Neue Club, a group of young expressionist writers in Berlin that included Robert's close friend and fellow-poet Georg Heym, whose poetry is still known in Germany today. On March 21, 1918, he was killed in battle, hit by a chain-bomb on the Ossu heights above the Cambrai-St.-Quentjn canal.
