Anton Puchta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Puchta (born March 4, 1851 in Altsattel ; † February 18, 1903 in Chernivtsi ) was a Bohemian mathematician.

Life

Anton Puchta studied mathematics and physics at the University of Prague , passed the teaching examination and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. From 1874 to 1882 he was an assistant at the German State Polytechnic Institute of the Kingdom of Bohemia and, after the renaming of the German Technical University in Prague . In 1878 he became a private lecturer in mathematics at the University of Prague, in 1880 at the German Technical University, in 1882 an associate professor at the German University in Prague and in 1887 a full professor at the University of Chernivtsi .

His contributions to determinant theory, equation theory, function theory and geometric problems are of interest. In doing so, he focused on differential geometric tasks and generalizations of known two- and three-dimensional conditions to spaces of higher dimensions.

On November 10, 1885, Anton Puchta was accepted as a member ( matriculation no. 2540 ) of the Leopoldina Scholars' Academy .
