Josef Neuberg

He was a writer and actor, known for Pytlákova schovanka aneb Slechetný milionár (1949), Veselá bída (1939) and Andula vyhrála (1937).

The professor died on 22 March 1926 in Liège, Belgium, and was commemorated in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.

Josef Neuberg was born on March 4, 1901 in Prague, Cechy, Austria-Hungary.

Neuberg worked mainly in geometry, particularly the geometry of the triangle, The Neuberg cubic, a curve defined from a triangle, is named after him, and passes through the isodynamic points of a triangle which he discovered and published in 1885.

Neuberg was also involved in a number of mathematical journals. With Eugène Catalan and Paul Mansion, he founded the journal Nouvelle correspondance mathématique. This journal was founded to honour the earlier journal Correspondance mathématique et physique, which had been edited by Lambert Quetelet and Jean Garnier. Correspondance was published until 1880; after this, Catalan advised Mansion and Neuberg to continue publication of a new journal. They followed his advice, creating Mathesis in 1881, which is perhaps Neuberg's best-known journal.

Neuberg switched from his previous two schools to the Athénée Royal de Liège in 1878. He became an extraordinary professor in the university in the same city in 1884, and was promoted to ordinary professor in 1887. He held this latter position until his retirement in 1910. A year after his retirement, he was elected president of the Belgian Royal Academy, which he had joined earlier, in 1866, after taking Belgian nationality despite his origins.

Joseph Jean Baptiste Neuberg (30 October 1840 – 22 March 1926) was a Luxembourger mathematician who worked primarily in geometry.
