Overview

Hermann Günther Grassmann was a 19th-century German polymath whose groundbreaking *Ausdehnungslehre* laid the foundations of vector algebra and modern linear algebra, though it was ignored in his lifetime. A teacher by profession, he revolutionized mathematics by treating geometry algebraically, proving dimensions could extend infinitely beyond three. Today hailed as a pioneer, his ideas underpin everything from quantum physics to computer graphics.
