Martina Becvarova, Jindrich Becvar,
Jan Skoda: Emil Weyr und sein italienischer Aufenthalt
Emil Weyr (1848–1894) was
an important Bohemian mathematician. His scientific career was strongly
influenced by his study tour in Italy in the years 1870–1871, above all
by his contact with Luigi Cremona
(1830–1903). After his return from Italy he was appointed Extraordinary
Professor at the Bohemian Polytechnic Institute in Prague. In 1875 he became
Ordinary Professor of mathematics at the university of Vienna. This paper gives
a short survey of his life and work and contains extracts from his diary. A
detailed description of his stay in Italy, his life and his scientific work is
to be found in the monograph that we published in 2006 [J. Be‹v‡Þ, M. Be‹v‡Þov‡,
