Otto Neugebauer

Conhecido por suas pesquisas sobre a história da astronomia e outras ciências exatas na Idade Antiga e na Idade Média. Estudando tabletes de argila descobriu que os antigos babilônios sabiam muito mais sobre matemática e astronomia do que se supunha. A Academia Nacional de Ciências dos Estados Unidos a ele referiu-se como "o mais original e produtivo pesquisador da história das ciências exatas, talvez da história da ciência, de nossa era."

Foi palestrante do Congresso Internacional de Matemáticos em Bolonha (1928) e Oslo (1936 - Über vorgriechische Mathematik und ihre Stellung zur griechischen).
