Felix Hausdorff (1868–1942) was a German mathematician known for his contributions to several areas of mathematics, particularly in topology, set theory, and functional analysis. He is best known for the concept of "Hausdorff space" in topology, which is a type of topological space where distinct points can be separated by neighborhoods. This concept is fundamental in topology and has implications for various areas of mathematics.
