Carl Theodor Anger

Carl Theodor Anger (Danzig, 31 July 1803 – Danzig, 25 March 1858) was a German mathematician and astronomer.[1] He was a student of and assistant to Friedrich Bessel at the Königsberg Observatory from 1827 until 1831.[2] Thereafter, he was appointed as astronomer by the Naturforschende Gesellschaft in Danzig.[3]

Besides his scientific work, especially that related to Bessel functions, he is also known for his first-hand biographical notes on the life of Bessel.

gollark: It's not like fixing buses/cars is very useful anyway. I mean, sure, there are quite a lot of instances when buses or cars may need fixing, but tons of people can do that and to some extent you can probably get away with looking it up on the internet on demand; meanwhile, assembly programmng is a rare and hard to learn skill.
