Abstract

In 1804 the chair of Elementary Mathematics at Prague University became vacant and a selection procedure, which consisted of a written and an oral examination, was announced. Only Bernard Bolzano and Ladislav Jandera took part in it. Jandera was appointed to the chair, whereas Bolzano became Professor of “Religious Doctrine.” In this paper we examine the context of this Concursprüfung, the performance of both candidates and the outcome, based on a number of related papers preserved at the Czech National Archives. In addition to this, we publish for the first time, albeit only in the online version of this paper, the transcription and English translation of Bolzano's written examination.

1804年布拉格大学初等数学教授的考试
1804年,布拉格大学的初等数学教授空缺,并宣布了一个包括笔试和口试的选拔程序。只有伯纳德·博尔扎诺和拉迪斯拉夫·詹德拉参加了会议。詹德拉被任命为主席,而博尔扎诺则成为“宗教教义”教授。在本文中,我们根据保存在捷克国家档案馆的一些相关文件,研究了这次concurspr的背景,候选人的表现和结果。除此之外,我们首次发布了Bolzano笔试的抄写和英文翻译,尽管只是在本文的在线版本中。

期刊介绍: Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
