Matthias Anomäus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthias Anomäus , also Anomoeus, Anomaeus, Ungleich (* around 1550 in Wunsiedel ; † August 5, 1614 in Steyr ), was a German educator , mathematician and physician .

Life

Anomäus began studying at the University of Basel in the winter semester of 1568 . In 1572 he moved to the University of Tübingen , where he acquired the degree of master's degree in 1573 and was accepted into the teaching staff. He started studying medicine and enrolled at the University of Padua on October 31, 1577 , returned to Tübingen in 1581 and received his doctorate in medicine under Andreas Planer in 1581 . He then became the imperial secretary and traveled to France , England and Italy as court master .

After he returned in 1583, he became a landscape physician in Linz and in 1597 took over the rectorate of the Linz school . However, he was expelled from that place. Therefore he went to Ansbach as a doctor in 1601 , took over the pharmacy in his home town in 1602 and got into increasing disputes due to his evangelical convictions. So in 1605 he thought about leaving his surroundings, which were hostile to Protestantism. Apparently he then got in touch with the Saxon court, because the Saxon Elector Christian II of Saxony recommended him in 1607 for a professorship in philosophy or medicine.

Following the wishes of the sovereign, Anomäus was given the professorship of lower mathematics from Tobias Tandler on June 14, 1607 . Anomäus, who was in close contact with Johannes Kepler , read about the Aritmeticam logisticam Obserrationes and returned to Linz at the end of 1609, as the situation there had apparently eased. He was again rector of the school and in 1610 was awarded the poet's crown as a poet , but was still in contact with the Wittenberg University, which he supported in the construction of the Wittenberg hospital.

For the wedding of his son Johann Joachim Anomäus he went to Steyr, where he suffered a heart attack during the festivities and died. His body was transferred to Linz and buried there.
