Anton Karl Grünwald

Anton Karl Grünwald (23 November 1838, Prague – 2 September 1920, Prague) was an Austrian mathematician.

Life

Grünwald studied mathematics and mechanical engineering at the University of Prague (Charles University) from 1856, he obtained his doctorate in 1861 and qualified in mathematics in 1863.[1]

From 1863 to 1868 he worked as a lecturer in mathematics at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) and from 1865 to 1869 as assistant professor for physics at the university. In 1870 he became associate professor at the CTU and on 1 January 1881 he was appointed a full professor of mathematics at the University of Prague.[2]

He did research on spectral analysis; its main mathematical goal was to generalize the concept of derivative of an integral. In 1867 he set up the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative (Aleksey Vasilievich Letnikov the following year).[1]

He became an associate member of the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences. His son, Josef Grünwald (1876–1911) also became a mathematician.[2]
