As an adult, he never used the names Julius Wilhelm. He was born in Braunschweig (often called "Brunswick" in English), which is where he lived most of his life and died. His body rests at 983: 443:
defines all the nonnegative numbers whose squares are less than 2 and the negative numbers into the lesser class, and the positive numbers whose squares are greater than 2 into the greater class. Every location on the number line continuum contains either a rational or an irrational number. Thus

there are no empty locations, gaps, or discontinuities. Dedekind published his thoughts on irrational numbers and Dedekind cuts in his pamphlet "Stetigkeit und irrationale Zahlen" ("Continuity and irrational numbers"); in modern terminology,

Although the book is assuredly based on Dirichlet's lectures, and although Dedekind himself referred to the book throughout his life as Dirichlet's, the book itself was entirely written by Dedekind, for the most part after Dirichlet's

For example, the 1776: 1076: 509:   1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 ...             140: 1132: 1012: 396: 573: 1959: 731: 1754: 313:, was the main facility for mathematical research in Germany. Thus Dedekind went to Berlin for two years of study, where he and 1348: 1101: 548: 336: 1528: 1407: 1771: 1764: 1402: 1365: 1124: 986: 529: 384: 279: 272: 122: 1453: 1338: 1326: 1321: 458: 246: 177: 641: 1254: 1195: 209: 632:.
