The dissertation was, as it is now, a substantial piece of written research. A thesis, on the other hand, was an assertion that the candidate was prepared to defend in a debate. | |

| Nov 12, 2020 at 16:34 | comment | added | James Fife | On Georg Cantor's wiki page his thesis is given as "De aequationibus secundi gradus indeterminatis." but in Georg Cantor's wiki quotes it reads "In re mathematica ars proponendi quaestionem pluris facienda est quam solvendi." "In mathematics the art of asking questions is more valuable than solving problems." Doctoral thesis (1867); variant translation: "In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it." ??? | |
