Abstract
SAMUEL OPPENHEIM, professor of astronomy in the University of Vienna, died in that city on Aug. 15, in his seventy-first year. He had graduated at Vienna in 1880 in the subjects of mathematics, physics, and astronomy, and obtained the doctor's degree in 1884 with a thesis on a new method of integrating the equations of planetary theory. He was an observer at the University Observatory, Vienna, until 1889, when he moved to the Vienna-Ottakring Observatory, remaining there until 1896; he also took pupils in astronomy during this period. In 1896 he moved to Arnau, where he taught astronomy in a school; he went to Prague in a similar capacity in 1899, remaining there until 1911, when he was appointed professor at Vienna.
