Johann Christoph Heilbronner worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Johann Christoph Heilbronner as German mathematical historian and theologian.
Johann Christoph Heilbronner was born at Ulm in 1706.
This was the age of analysis, when the calculus was pushed hard and its foundations were not yet secure.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics, history of mathematics and theology.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
Johann Christoph Heilbronner died in 1745, aged 39. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
