mathematics, history of mathematics.
Hankel’s father, the physicist Wilhelm Gottlieb Hankel was associate professor at Halle from and full professor at Leipzig from Hankel studied at the Nicolai Gymnasium in Leipzig, where he improved his Greek by reading the ancient mathematicians in the original. Entering Leipzig University in , he studied with Moritz Drobisch, A. F. Moebius, Wilhelm Scheibner, and his father. In Hankel proceeded to Göttingen, where from Georg Riemann he acquired his special interest in the theory of functions. At this time he published his prizewinning Zur allgemeinen Theorie der Bewegung der Flüssigkeiten (Göttingen). The following year he studied in Berlin with Karl Weierstrass and Leopold Kronecker, and in he received his doctorate at Leipzig for Ueber eine besondere Classe der symmetrischen Determinanten (Göttingen, ). He qualified for teaching in and in the spring of was named associate professor at Leipzig. In the fall of that year he became full professor at Erlangen, where he married Marie Dippe.

Hermann Hankel's father was Wilhelm Gottlieb Hankel who was a physicist at Halle at the time Hermann was born. Hermann began his education in Halle but, in Wilhelm was appointed to the chair of physics at Leipzig so the family moved to Leipzig where Hermann attended the Nicolai Gymnasium. At the gymnasium he [1]:-improved his Greek by reading the ancient mathematicians in the original.
In Hankel entered the University of Leipzig where he studied mathematics with Möbius and physics with his own father. Following the tradition in Germany at that time Hankel did not complete his studies at one university, but moved to several different universities during the course of his studies. From Leipzig he went to Göttingen in where he became a student of Riemann and then, in the following year, he worked with Weierstrass and Kronecker in Berlin.
