Popis: In 1922, Hermann Weyl (1885–1955) was invited to teach a course of eight lessons in Barcelona and Madrid. At that time, Weyl was working on his theory of space in order to tackle several problems posed by the Theory of Relativity. The lessons he gave in Barcelona and Madrid constituted a very significant contribution and he published them in a book in 1923. We study the impact of the visit of Weyl in the Spanish scientific community.
