Description
In this talk, we will present some previously unknown information on the life and work of prominent Croatian mathematician Stjepan Bohniček (Vinkovci, 1872 – Zagreb, 1956), corresponding member of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the first Croatian expert in the field of number theory. Bohniček studied reciprocity laws, Diophantine equations and quadratic forms. His results on reciprocity laws are cited in several modern monographies on the history of number theory.
