Hermann Weyl was a German mathematician, theoretical physicist, and philosopher whose work significantly influenced theoretical physics and pure mathematical disciplines. He stood as one of the twentieth century's most influential mathematicians, striving for a form of universalism. His inquiries spanned space, time, matter, philosophy, logic, symmetry, and the history of mathematics. Notably, he sought to unify general relativity with the principles of electromagnetism.
