Theodor Schmid (mathematician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor Schmid (born December 6, 1859 in Erlau , Hungary , † October 30, 1937 in Vienna ) was an Austrian mathematician.

Life

Schmid was the son of an officer, attended secondary school in Linz and studied mathematics and physics at the Vienna University of Technology (among others with Josef Kolbe and Viktor Pierre ) and at the University of Vienna . In 1882 he passed the teaching examination in mathematics (and in 1886 in physics) and in 1882 he was a trial candidate and in 1884/85 supplement at the secondary school in Linz. In 1892 he became a professor at the Realschule in Steyr and in 1899 at the Schottenfelder Realschule in Vienna, but in the same year he became an adjunct to the second chair for descriptive geometry at the Technical University of Vienna, where he became associate professor in 1900 and full professor for descriptive geometry in 1906 . Emil Müller held the first chair . In 1915/16 he was dean, was elected rector in 1918 (which he turned down for health reasons) and retired in 1929.

He wrote descriptive geometry textbooks specifically for mechanical engineers. He introduced the rotary escape principle.

In 1918 he became a member of the Leopoldina . In 1921 he became a councilor and in 1928 a corresponding member of the Vienna Academy of Sciences .
