On Life and
Scientific Activity of Ruđer Bošković
Slobodan Ninković
The paper presents the
new insights to origin and family of our great scientist,
philosopher, artist and diplomat Ruđer Bošković (1711-1787). His
rich career is related to his hometown Dubrovnik, where he was born
in 1711. After the initial education at the Jesuit College he went
to live and work in Rome, Vienna, Paris and London. He became a
member of many scientific associations and academies, published over
seventy scientific papers. He founded the astronomy observatory in
Brera and then he went to Paris to hold a position of the Director
of Naval Optics in Paris. Eventually, devastated by his illness, he
went back to Milan where he died in 1787, thus ending the life path
of this remarkable person.
