Ernst Fanta
Ernst Fanta (born May 26, 1878 in Vienna , † November 7, 1939 in São Paulo ) was an Austrian actuary.
Life
After graduating from high school in 1896, Fanta studied mathematics, physics and insurance at the University of Vienna and received her doctorate under Franz Mertens in 1900 with a thesis on number theory (proof that every linear function, the coefficients of which are whole, prime numbers taken from the cubic circle division field, are infinite Represents prime numbers of this body). In 1901 he passed the state examination in insurance in Vienna and studied in Göttingen in 1901/02. From 1902 to 1906 he was an actuary at the municipal Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Jubiläums-Lebens- und Renten-Versicherungsanstalt. From 1906 he was an honorary lecturer in actuarial mathematics at the German Technical University in Brno, where he completed his habilitation in 1910. In 1919 he received the Venia legendi at the Technical University of Vienna and held lectures there as an associate professor. His main job, however, was employed by insurance companies in Vienna and Prague, most recently as director. After the annexation of Austria he lost his license to teach as a Jew and emigrated to Brazil, but died there shortly afterwards.
