Rey Pastor, Julio (1888 - 1962)

Spanish mathematician, leading figure in geometry.

He studied at the Institute of Logroño Sagasta, where achieved the Bachelor's degree in 1903. His first intention was to prepare for a military career, but then he decided to study at the University of Zaragoza, where he was pupil of Zoel García de Galdeano.
In 1909 defended his doctoral thesis on Correspondence of elementary figures in Madrid, founding with other teachers the Spanish Mathematical Society. In 1911 obtained the Chair of Mathematical Analysis at the University of Oviedo. In two courses received grants from the Board for Advanced Studies to study in Germany: in 1911 in Berlin and in 1913 in Göttingen, with Felix Klein. This allowed him to learn the Erlangen Program. From 1914 served in the Complutense University of Madrid. In 1917 he traveled to Buenos Aires and on his return he founded the Revista Matemática Hispano-Americana.
After his doctoral thesis 1909, Rey Pastor investigated in the field of algebraic synthetic geometry and higher projective geometry. In the reports prepared after his stay in Germany were the synthetic study of curves, incorporating transformation groups and axiomatic.
He entered the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences in 1920, a year before moving definitively to Argentina, where he obtained a post at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1954 he also joined the Royal Spanish Academy on the couch going "F". In 1959 he became professor emeritus at the University of Buenos Aires.
Rey Pastor is considered one of the great innovators of mathematics throughout the Spanish speaking world and is the initiator of a new science, the preology.
