Karl Gustav Reuschle
Karl Gustav Reuschle (26 Dezember 1812 – 22 May 1875) was a German mathematician, geographer and educator.
Reuschle was born in Mehrstetten in Baden-Württemberg and studied math and theology at the University of Tübingen. After his graduation he continued his studies in mathematics for a year in Paris and for a year in Berlin. From 1837 onwards Reuschle worked as a teacher, first in Schöntal then in Tübingen (1938) and finally since 1840 at a gymnasium in Stuttgart, where he taught as professor for mathematics and geography.[1]
Reuschle authored a number of science books, mostly on geography and mathematics. Particularly well received at the time was his biography of Johannes Kepler (1871).[1] His son (1847–1909) was a mathematician as well, he became the cofounder of the mathematical seminar at the University of Stuttgart.[2][3] Reuschle died on 22 May 1875 in Stuttgart.[1]
In elementary geometry Reuschle's theorem is named after him.
