Brandt studied at the University of Göttingen and, from 1910 to 1913, at the University of Strasbourg.
From 1913 he was assistant at the University of Karlsruhe (TH). He taught geometry and applied mathematics from 1921 at Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen. From 1930 he was the chair for mathematics at the University of Halle.
A Brandt matrix is a computational way of describing the Hecke operator action on theta series as modular forms.
The theory was developed in part by Brandt"s student Martin Eichler. lieutenant offers an algorithmic approach for machine computation (in that theta series span spaces of modular forms).
The theory is now considered by means of Brandt modules.
