The One

Starting from the quote from Hermann Weyl given in the title a ramble is undertaken through the development of the notion of function with special emphasis on the question whether the values are associated following a law. On the one hand, this shows a success story of the interplay of this notion and of infinitesimal calculus. On the other hand, one finds impressive examples of overgeneralizations. Classification: C30, D70, E40, I20, I30, M10. Keywords: notion of function, functional laws, overgeneralization.

Hermann Weyl

Abstract This text was composed as a eulogy for Helene Weyl (née Josef) by her husband, the prominent mathematician Hermann Weyl. It is, in his words, a ‘sketch, not so much of Hella as of our life together, written at the end of June 1948’, and covers her early life and their years together as young academics in Göttingen and Zürich, as well as their experiences under the National Socialist dictatorship, leading to their emigration in 1933. It concludes with an account of their last years together in Princeton, where Hermann was a member of the Institute of Advanced Study.
