Listen to Florian Cajori interviews
Florian Cajori (St Aignan, Switzerland, February 28, 1859 – August 14 or 15, 1930,Berkeley, United States) was one of the most celebrated historians of mathematics in his day.
Florian Cajori emigrated to the United States at the age of sixteen. He received a Ph.D. at Tulane University, where he taught for a few years before being driven north by his health. He taught at Colorado College, where he founded the Colorado College Scientific Society. Even today his History of Mathematical Notations (1928–29) has been described as "unsurpassed." In 1918, he was appointed to a specially created chair in history of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. He remained in Berkeley, California until his death in 1930.
His last work was revising Motte's Translation of Newton's Principia, vol.1 The Motion of Bodies, but he died before it was finished. The work was finished by R.T.Crawford of Berkeley, California.
The Cajori crater on the Moon was named in his honour.
