Anton Davidoglu

Anton Davidoglu (June 30, 1876 – May 27, 1958) was a Romanian mathematician who specialized in differential equations.

He was born in 1876 in Bârlad, Vaslui County, the son of Profira Moțoc and Doctor Cleante Davidoglu.

He studied under Jacques Hadamard at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, defending his Ph.D. dissertation in 1900.

His thesis — the first mathematical investigation of deformable solids — applied Émile Picard's method of successive approximations to the study of fourth order differential equations that model traverse vibrations of non-homogeneous elastic bars.

In 1913, he was founding rector of the Academy of High Commercial and Industrial Studies in Bucharest.
