Abstract

It is quite remarkable that for many generations and in many different genealogical lines of the Jacobsthal’s family clan of academics, scholars dedicated their energy to three specific disciplines: medicine, mathematics, and music.1 This essay aims to ana- lyze the connections between mathematics and music as they appear in the intellectual history and biography of a Stettin pupil of Hermann Grassmann: Gustav Jacobsthal. Jacobsthal’s sonWalther was noted in his day for being a competent mathematician and headmaster of a school in Berlin, while his nephew Ernst Jacobsthal became a very well- known mathematician.
