Moritz Allé (1837–1913)[1] was an Austrian astronomer and mathematician, one of the teachers of Nikola Tesla.[2]
Scientific career
[edit]Allé studied mathematics at the University of Vienna. After his university graduation, Allé startet his professional career as an assistant at the Vienna Observatory in 1856.[3] He was appointed Adjunkt (senior position) at the observatory in Kraków in 1859.[4] In 1860 he completed his PhD at the University of Kiel. In 1862 he was appointed Adjunkt at the observatory in Prague.[5] It was there where he completed his habilitation in mathematics in 1863.[6] In 1867, Allé was appointed professor of mathematics at the Joanneum in Graz[7] and was elected as its rector in 1875/76.[8] In June 1882 Allé was appointed professor of mathematics at the Deutsche Technische Hochschule in Prague.[9] There, he was also dean for five periods[3] and different faculties[10][11] but declined serving as rector after his election in June 1887 for health reasons.[12] In 1896 he succeeded Josef Kolbe at the chair of mathematics at the Polytechnic Institute in Vienna, where he served as rector as well in 1900/01.[3] Upon his retirement in 1906, Allé was awarded the emperial title of a Hofrat.[13]
Allé was known as an excellent and sympathetic teacher and thus much appreciated by his students.[7] In his autobiography, Nikola Tesla describes him as the most brilliant lecturer to whom I ever listened.[14]
Private life
[edit]Moritz Allé passed away on April 6, 1913 and was buried on April 8 in Baden.[3]
Scientific contributions
[edit]The early scientific work of Allé led to a number of publications in astronomy where he contributed on orbit determination of planets and comets.[15] He later gave up this field of research in favour of mathematics.[3]
