Anton Karl Grünwald
Anton Karl Grünwald (born November 23, 1838 in Prague , † September 2, 1920 in Prague- Dejvice) was an Austrian mathematician.
Life
Grünwald studied mathematics and mechanical engineering at the University of Prague from 1856, and obtained his doctorate in 1861. phil. and qualified in mathematics in 1863.
From 1863 to 1868 he worked as a private lecturer in mathematics at the Technical University in Prague. Furthermore, from 1865 to 1869 as assistant professor for physics at the university. In 1870 he became associate professor at the state chemical and technical institute and on January 1, 1881 full professor for mathematics at the University of Prague.
He did research on spectral analysis. Its main mathematical goal was to generalize the notion of the derivative of an integral. In 1867 he set up the Grünwald-Letnikov derivation (Aleksey Vasilievich Letnikov the following year).
He became an associate member of the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences. His son, Josef Grünwald (1876–1911) also became a mathematician.
