The properties of numbers
fascinated him, and in his
work he anticipated major
mathematical development
of later times Along with
Wilhelm Welser, he built the
first electric telegraph in
1833 His mathematical
theory of curved surface
laid the foundation for the
later work of Riemann For instance for the configuration Q3 for which Q is along the
perpendicular bisector of the dipole P, the magnetic moment of Q is
parallel to the magnetic field at the position 3
