'''Felix Christian Klein''' ({{IPAc-en|k|l|aɪ|n}};{{Cite Dictionary.com|Klein}} {{IPA|de|klaɪn|lang}}; 25 April 1849 – 22 June 1925) was a German [[mathematician]], [[Mathematics education|mathematics educator]] and [[History of mathematics|historian of mathematics]], known for his work in [[group theory]], [[complex analysis]], [[non-Euclidean geometry]], and the associations between [[geometry]] and [[group theory]]. His 1872 [[Erlangen program]] classified geometries by their basic [[symmetry group]]s and was an influential synthesis of much of the mathematics of the time. |

During his tenure at the [[University of Göttingen]], Klein was able to turn it into a center for mathematical and scientific research through the establishment of new lectures, professorships, and institutes. His [[Felix Klein Protocols|seminars]] covered most areas of mathematics then known as well as their applications. Klein also devoted considerable time to mathematical instruction and promoted mathematics education reform at all grade levels in Germany and abroad. He became the first president of the [[International Commission on Mathematical Instruction]] in 1908 at the Fourth International Congress of Mathematicians in Rome. |
