Karl Hermann Amandus Schwarz (25 January 1843 – 30 November 1921) was a German mathematician, known for his work in complex analysis. He was born in Hermsdorf, Silesia (now Jerzmanowa, Poland).
Schwarz worked in Halle, Göttingen and then Berlin, dealing with the subjects of function theory, differential geometry and the calculus of variations. He became a member of the Royal Academy. His works include Bestimmung einer speziellen Minimalfläche, which was crowned by the Berlin Academy in 1867 and printed in 1871, and Gesammelte mathematische Abhandlungen (1890). He was a student of Karl Weierstrass. He became professor at the University of Berlin in 1892, where his students included Lipot Fejer, Paul Koebe and Ernst Zermelo. He died in Berlin.
