Friedrich Wilhelm Franz Meyer (1856–1934) was a German mathematician, one of the main editors of the Encyclopädie der Mathematischen Wissenschaften.

Life and work

Meyer studied in the universities of Leipzig and Munich. He was awarded a doctorate in 1878 in Munich. He studied further in Berlin under Weierstrass, Kummer, and Kronecker. In 1880 he got the venia legendi at the University of Tübingen. In 1888 he became full professor at the Bergakademie of Clausthal (today Clausthal University of Technology). From October 1897 until October 1924, when he retired, he taught at the University of Königsberg.{{sfn | Burau | 2008 | p=Dictionary of Scientific Biography}}

The wide research work of Meyer (more than 130 papers) is centered basically on geometry and, specifically, on invariant theory.{{sfn | Parshall | 1990 | pp=13–15 }}

Notwithstanding he is mainly known for he was one of the main editors{{sfn | Gray | 2008 | p=116 }} of the Enzyklopädie der mathematischen Wissenschaften published from 1898 to 1933 in 23 separate books. Meyer was directly in charge to edit the geometry volumes.{{sfn | de Siqueira | 2015 | p=36 }}
