History and Philosophy of Physics 2019-09-06 v1

Abstract

The scientific career of Uruguayan theoretical physicist Enrique Loedel Palumbo in Argentina illustrates the intense intellectual exchange that existed between these neighboring countries in the first third of the twentieth century. In this paper we briefly discuss the scientific training of this scientist in Uruguay, his subsequent incorporation to the Institute of Physics of La Plata, in Buenos Aires, and his first steps in research under the tutelage of German professor Richard Gans.
