Seligmann Kantor Explained

Seligmann Kantor (6 December 1857, Sobědruhy – 21 March 1903, Sobědruhy) was a Bohemian-born, German-speaking mathematician of Jewish origin in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He is known for the Möbius–Kantor configuration and the Möbius-Kantor graph.[1]

Kantor studied mathematics and physics at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna, then studied in 1878 in Rome with Luigi Cremona, in Strasbourg, and in 1880 in Paris.[2] In 1881 he received his Habilitation at the K. K. Deutsche Technische Hochschule (DTH) in Prague.[3] He was appointed there in 1883 a Privatdozent for mathematics[4] and continued in that academic post until 1888.[5] He was considered for a professorship in Vienna, but anti-Semitic political agitation prevented his appointment.
