scientific article; zbMATH DE number 1284289
The article begins by explaining how Albertus Saxonus and Heinrich of Langenstein, given their particular interests as already expressed when they were in Paris, may have caused the newly founded Vienna University (1365) to give larger space to mathematical studies than other late fourteenth-century universities, even though none of them appears to have taught mathematical subjects at the university. The biographies of John of Gmunden and Peurbach tell their career and outline what they have done in and for mathematics and astronomy (in the case of Peurbach also how he brought Italian humanism to Vienna and taught it). The style is that of a lecture for the educated general public. Illustrations take up \(8{1\over 2}\) pages. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00013].
