Richard Baer

Richard Baer was born in Basel on September 11, 1892, the son of the banker Julius Baer. At the age of five, he moved with his family from Basel to Zurich. After graduating from high school in 1912, Baer, who had shown an early interest in mathematics and physics, went to the Julius Maximilian University in Würzburg at the age of 20 to study mathematics. After the start of World War I, he eventually returned from Würzburg to Zurich, Switzerland, to continue his studies at the University of Zurich and the Zurich School of Engineering. Shortly thereafter, he returned to Würzburg, where he received his doctorate in 1915 with Emil Hilb for his thesis Über Greensche Randwertaufgaben bei der Schwingungsgleichung. Soon after, he began his first scientific experiments in the laboratory of Professor Wilhelm Wien.
