Today (May 5, 1752) is the birthday of the German physicist, mathematician and astronomer Johann Tobias, who founded proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.

 

Johann Tobias Mayer was born on May 5, 1752, in Gottingen, the first son of Tobias Mayor and Maria. His father was a professor of geology, physics and astronomy at Cottingham. His father died when the mayor was in his tenth year. In 1769 Gottingen studied theology and philosophy at George August University. It was then that the new university was started under Abraham Gothelf Kastner. After Cosner, it operated under George Christophe Ilstenberg. After graduating in 1773, he worked as a lecturer and mathematician in mathematics. Invited by the University of Altdorf on November 17, 1779. He worked there from 1780 to 1786.

 

He later taught mathematics and physics at the Friedrich Alexander University in Nuremberg, Erlangen. He continued to head the University of Cottingon in 1799 after Ellistenberg. Some of his students include Kieran Dirkson. After Dirkson received his doctorate in 1820, Carl Kushtav became Jacob's mentor. The mayor and his wife, Johanna, had five children. The theoretical number of Pythagoras, believed to have belonged to Ileanardo da Vinci, is now thought to have been established by Meyer in 1772.

 

Mayor is best known for his textbooks on mathematics and natural sciences. His 1801 textbook on physics, Anfangsgründe der Naturlehre zum Behuf der Vorlesungen über die Experimental-Physik, had a profound impact on all German-speaking countries. Her studies of astronomy and recipe physics were published in the journal Annalen der Physik. The German physicist Johann Tobias Meyer, the founder of the Pythagorean theorem, passed away on November 30, 1830, in Gottingen, at the age of 78.
