He served twice as the Rector of the University of Belgrade and was elected three times as president of the Serbian Royal Academy (1931-1937).
Biography
He graduated from high school in Novi Sad as a student of his generation. After high school, he went to study at the University of Budapest as a scholarship holder of the Serbian benefactor Sava Tekelija. In 1887, he received the title PhD in Mathematics. In the same year, he started working as a professor at the University of Belgrade. He remained in Belgrade until his death in 1947, and was active as a regular professor of mathematics at the Technical Faculty until 1941.
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, he published two voluminous university textbooks, which also have a monographic character:
- Analytic geometry of point, line, circle and conic sections (I-II; 1896) and
- Theory of determinants (1899).
Both books are considered capital mathematical works in Serbia of their time.
He founded the Mathematical Library in 1894, which was destroyed at the end of World War II. Together with Mihailo Petrović and Milutin Milanković, he is considered responsible for the introduction of modern mathematics in Serbia at the beginning of the 20th century.[1]

He was a member of:
- society Circolo Matematico di Palermo,
- Dr. hon. causa of the University of Athens,
- president of the "Nikola Tesla Society",
- director of the "Nikola Tesla Institute",
- founder of the "Mathematics Institute" in Belgrade (1946).
