From a Creative Biography
Wilhelm Cower is best known for his work on the analysis and synthesis of electric filters, which marked the beginning of the field of network synthesis. Cower provided the mathematical rationale for designing an electronic filter.
At first, the German mathematician specialized in the general theory of relativity , but soon moved on to electrical engineering . His work for the German subsidiary Bell Telephone Company led to contacts with leading American filter engineers. This proved useful and trivial for life support, when Cower was unable to feed his children during the German economic crisis of the 1920s, he moved to the United States . He studied early computer technology in the United States before returning to Germany. The rise of Nazism in Germany interrupted Cauer's career because he had a Jewish ancestor revealed. Cower was shot dead during the capture of Berlin by Soviet soldiers [3] [4] .
Manuscripts for some of Cower's most important unpublished works during the war were destroyed. However, his family managed to reconstruct most of his notes and volume II of Theorie der linearen Wechselstromschaltungen was published after his death. Cower's legacy is still relevant today, when synthesizing a network, is a method of choosing the path for network design.
