Eugenius Nulty

Eugenius Nulty (1790 – July 3, 1871) was an Irish born American mathematician of the 19th century.

After arriving in the United States from his native Ireland, Nulty quickly became ensconced as a member of the new nation's small intelligentsia.

Walker, director of the National Institute for the Promotion of Science, called Nulty "unsurpassed at home or abroad" in pure mathematics.
