This biography attempts to shed light on all facets of Zermelo's life and achievements. Personal and scientific aspects are kept separate as far as coherence allows, in order to enable the reader to follow the one or the other of these threads. The description of his personality owes much to conversations with his late wife Gertrud. The presentation of his work explores motivations, aims, acceptance, and influence. Selected proofs and information gleaned from unpublished notes and letters add to the analysis.
Subject: Mathematics and Statistics, Historical Aspects of Applied Mathematics, Zermelo, history of mathematical logic, history of set theory, mathematical physics, proof, set theory
