Life
Stigler studied humanistic subjects in Amberg and Ingolstadt and from 1750 philosophy and later theology at the University of Regensburg . He gave up the desire to enter a monastery near Regensburg and devoted himself only to studies of pure and applied mathematics. When the Bavarian Cadet Corps was founded in Munich in 1756 , he accepted a position at this officers' school and became a professor of mathematics. He participated in the plans for the establishment of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, initially called the Churbaierische Akademie , and in 1759 became its full member.
Stigler published a book and several papers until his untimely death in 1761.
