Does anybody know who "invented" the Neumann condition ?
I do not think it was von Neumann.

I am quite certain that it was either Carl Neumann (1882-1925) or his
father, Franz Neumann (1798-1895), but I don`t remember which of these
two.

BTW: there is a nice webpage at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland
with biographies of many mathematicians:

(However, I just checked it for Franz and Carl Neumann, but there is
 nothing specific there about the Neumann condition. Both seem equally
 possible from their work areas (Heat conduction, electrodynamics etc.)
