The 1804 examination for the chair of Elementary Mathematics at the University of Prague

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In 1804 the chair of Elementary Mathematics at Prague University became vacant and a selection procedure, which consisted of a written and an oral examination, was announced. Only Bernard Bolzano and Ladislav Jandera took part in it. Jandera was appointed to the chair, whereas Bolzano became Professor of “Religious Doctrine”. In this paper we examine the context of this Concursprüfung, the performance of both candidates and the outcome, based on a number of related papers preserved at the Czech National Archives. In addition to this, we publish for the first time, albeit only in the online version of this paper, the transcription and English translation of Bolzano’s written examination.
