He had become a close friend of Bolza 's while the two studied together at Berlin, and they were now together again at Göttingen both working with Klein . Maschke found working with Klein in his home in the evenings very rewarding and was fascinated with Klein 's ideas on using group theory to solve algebraic equations.
Niya na maging isang malapit na kaibigan ng Bolza 's habang ang dalawang-aral ng sabay-sabay sa Berlin, at sila ay sama-samang muli ngayon sa Gottingen parehong nagtatrabaho sa Klein. Nagtatrabaho sa Maschke natagpuan Klein sa kanyang tahanan sa gabi at napaka-ligaya ay nabighani sa Klein 's mga ideya sa mga gumagamit ng grupo theory upang malutas ang algebraic equation.
