Edmund Landau

He was a German

He graduate at 16 for High School which is 2 years earlier than normal

A student from University of Berlin and went back to teach at the same school

He doctorate in 1899 for a thesis on number theory

He became a lecture at 1899 and he return to the University of Berlin and quit at 1909

Louis Mordell

He was a British

Went to Manchester College of Technology to teach

He took the third place in the Mathematical Tripos.

After that he began to research about Diophantine equations

Chowla-Mordell theorem, Mordell-Weil theorem and

Erdős - Mordell inequality

Things that important between the of them

Both of them invented some equations to help the world

Chowla-Mordell Equation need to be complete with Number theory

Different things between them

Mordell did participate at the World War II but Landau didn’t

Landau return to his mother-school to act as lecture but Mordell didn’t return to his mother-school.

Diophantine Equation

(An algebraic equation with two or more variables whose coefficients are integers, studied to determine all integral solutions.)

Number Theory and Complex Analysis

Number Theory= The study of integers and relations between them.
