Anton von Braunmühl

Johann Anton Edler von Braunmühl (22 December 1853, Tiflis – 7 March 1908, München) was a German historian of mathematics and mathematician who worked on synthetic geometry and trigonometry.

Braunmühl was born in Tiflis but came from a Bavarian family and his father had gone as an architect to build a palace.

He received a doctorate summa cum laude in 1878 and at the same time began to teach at the Realgymnasium.

His teaching were on algebraic analysis, projective geometry, and trigonometry and his students included chemists and architects.

[1] Axel Anthon Björnbo was one his students, who worked on spherical trigonometry of the Greeks and Arabs.
