Martin Aigner

Martin Aigner ( born February 28, 1942 in Linz) is an Austrian mathematician.

Aigner put in his hometown of Linz from the Matura. After studying mathematics with minors in physics and philosophy at the University of Vienna, where he in 1965 received his doctorate, he was a lecturer at the University of Tübingen ( Habilitation 1972) and is since 1973 professor of mathematics with a focus on Discrete Mathematics at the Free University Berlin.

Aigner is a full member of the Berlin- Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

He is the author of several books on discrete mathematics and has written together with Günter M. Ziegler The Book of Evidence, originally in English under the title Proofs from the Book, in which, inspired by Paul Erdős, who jokingly of such an ideal book owned God spoke, several are collected by elegance distinguishing evidence primarily to combinatorics.

Aigner is a member of the Catholic fraternity KAV Norica Wien since 1960.
