Johann Benedict Listing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Benedict Listing born July 25, 1808, died December 24, 1882 was a German mathematician, born in Frankfurt, Germany, and died in Göttingen, Germany.
In 1847, he wrote a famous article on Topology, although he had introduced the term in correspondence some years earlier. He (independently) discovered the properties of the half-twisted strip that now bears Möbius' name at the same time as Möbius, and went further in exploring the properties of strips with higher-order twists (paradromic rings).
