Apollos was a 1st-century Alexandrian Jewish Christian mentioned several times in the New Testament. A contemporary and colleague of Paul the Apostle, he played an important role in the early development of the churches of Ephesus and Corinth. Apollos is first mentioned as a Christian preacher who had come to Ephesus, where he is described as "being fervent in spirit: he spoke and taught the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John". Priscilla and Aquila, a Jewish Christian couple who had come to Ephesus with the Apostle Paul, instructed Apollos: "When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more adequately."The differences between the two understandings related to the Christian baptism, since Apollos "knew only the baptism of John". During Apollos' absence, the writer of the Acts of the Apostles recounts an encounter between Paul and some disciples at Ephesus: And he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"

And they said, "No, we have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit." And he said, "Into what were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism." And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one, to come after him, that is, Jesus." 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, they began speaking in tongues and prophesying. Before Paul's arrival, Apollos had moved from Ephesus to Achaia and was living in Corinth, the provincial capital of Achaia. Acts reports that Apollos arrived in Achaia with a letter of recommendation from the Ephesian Christians and "greatly helped those who through grace had believed, for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians mentions Apollos as an important figure at Corinth. Paul describes Apollos' role at Corinth: I planted, Apollos watered.

Paul's Epistle refers to a schism between four parties in the Corinthian church, of which two attached themselves to Paul and Apollos using their names. It is possible, that, as Msgr. Ronald Knox suggests, the parties were two, one claiming to follow Paul, the other claiming to follow Apollos. "It is probable that the adherents of St. Paul alleged in defence of his orthodoxy the fact that he was in full agreement with, in some sense commissioned by, the Apostolic College. Hence'I am for Cephas'. What reply was the faction of Apollos to make? It devised an expedient, imitated by sectaries more than once in times. Paul states. Apollos was a devout Jew born in Alexandria. Pope Benedict XVI says that the name "Apollos" was short for Apollonius or Apollodorus. Apollos' origin in Alexandria has led to speculations that he would have preached in the allegorical style of Philo. Theologian Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, for example, commented: "It is difficult to imagine that an Alexandrian Jew... could have escaped the influence of Philo, the great intellectual leader... since the latter seems to have been concerned with education and preaching."

Pope Benedict suggest there were those in Corinth "...fascinated by his way of speaking...."There is no indication that Apollos favored or approved an overestimation of his person. Paul urged him to go to Corinth at the time, but Apollos refused, stating that he would come when he had an opportunity. Apollos is mentioned one more time in the New Testament. In the Epistle to Titus, the recipient is exhorted to "speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way". Jerome states that Apollos was so dissatisfied with the division at Corinth that he retired to Crete with Zenas. Less probable traditions assign to him the bishopric of Duras, or of Iconium in Phrygia, or of Caesarea. Martin Luther and some modern scholars have proposed Apollos as the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, rather than Paul or Barnabas. Both Apollos and Barnabas were Jewish Christians with sufficient intellectual authority; the Pulpit Commentary treats Apollos' authorship of Hebrews as "generally believed". Other than this, there are no known surviving texts attributed to Apollos.

Apollos is regarded as a saint by several Christian churches, including the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, which hold a commemoration for him, together with saints Aquila and Priscilla, on 13 February.

Sentai Filmworks has licensed the anime in North America. Anime News Network had two editors review the first episode of the anime: Theron Martin praised director Shin'ya Kawatsura and Silver Link for crafting an adaptation that's simplistically charming with characters that carry surprising depth and gorgeous aesthetics. Nick Creamer, while mixed on the animation quality being "mostly just functional," gave credit to the main cast for feeling grounded while still carrying distinct quirks and was optimistic of the series' progression into the daily activities of the game creation club, concluding that its "unlikely to do much for those who aren't fans of slice of life, but stands as a charming and solidly written example of its genre. It's not a top tier show, but it's a solid effort." Fellow ANN editor Amy McNulty reviewed the complete anime series in 2017.

Despite the cast not getting equal development, overused jokes and a lack of insight into the club's creation of the games, McNulty commended the chemistry between them and the light-heartedness of both the comedy and animation, calling it "a show that works both as a binge and an occasional watch to cheer you up on days when you just need something light and cheery."

Guido Karl Heinrich Hoheisel was a German mathematician and professor of mathematics at the University of Cologne. He did his PhD in 1920 from the University of Berlin under the supervision of Erhard Schmidt. During World War II Hoheisel was required to teach classes at three universities, in Cologne, Münster, his doctoral students include Arnold Schönhage. Hoheisel contributed to the journal Deutsche Mathematik. Hoheisel is known for a result on gaps between prime numbers: He proved that if π denotes the prime-counting function there exists a constant θ < 1 such that π − π ~ xθ/log,as x tends to infinity, implying that if pn denotes the n-th prime number pn+1 − pn < pnθ,for all sufficiently large n. In fact he showed. Gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen 1926.
