Antoine Meyer, also known as Antun or Tun Meyer (1801-1877), was a Luxembourg-born mathematician and poet who later adopted Belgian nationality.
He is sometimes referred to as the father of Luxembourgish literature, and he is best known for releasing "E' Schrek ob de' lezeburger Parnassus" a series of six poems (A Step Up the Luxembourg Parnassus).
Early life
Meyer, a shoemaker, and his wife Elisabeth Kirschenbilder, who lived in Luxembourg City close to the Place d'Armes, died on May 31th, 1801. He attended mathematics at Liège (1817–1823), where he was forced to give private lessons to his classmates and help out in the library to pay for his education. After earning his doctorate, he spent an additional year in Paris studying at the Collège de France and Sorbonne, where he met with Europe's top mathematicians.
Career
Meyer, a mathematics teacher, was a natural performer on a professional level. He worked at the Collège royal in Echternach, Luxembourg, in 1826, before heading to Breda, the Netherlands, where he remained at the newly opened Royal Military Academy. However, when the Belgians revolted against the Dutch two years ago, he had to leave the country. He eventually found a job in Belgium at a school in Louvain after going through so much difficulty. He served at the Institut Gaggia (1834) in Brussels for a brief period, but was later offered a job at the military academy before moving on to the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 1838. He became a professor of higher mathematics at the Université de Liège in 1849 until his death in 1857. Meyer obtained Belgian nationality in 1842, owing to historical events following Belgian Luxembourg's partition. The Belgians' sincere appreciation for his mathematical papers and accomplishments point to his complete adoption. However, his poems reveal his lifelong ties to Luxembourg.
