Timofei Osipovsky

Timofei Fyodorovich Osipovsky (Russian: Тимофей Федорович Осиповский; February 2, 1766, Osipovo – June 24, 1832, Moscow) was a Russian Imperial mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and philosopher.

Timofei Osipovsky graduated from the St Petersburg Teachers Seminary.

He became a teacher at Imperial Kharkov University, in 1805, the year it was founded.

However, in 1820, Osipovsky was suspended from his post on religious grounds.

Osipovsky's most famous work was the three volume book A Course of Mathematics (1801–1823), which soon became a standard university text and was used in universities for many years.
