Alphonse Demoulin

Alphonse-Adolphe-Auguste Demoulin (born September 20, 1869 in Brussels, June 25, 1947) was a Belgian mathematician who studied geometry (differential geometry, differential geometry).

Demoulin attended the Atheneum in Brussels and studied at the University of Ghent with the degree 1889 and the doctorate in 1890 and then in Paris with Gaston Darboux, where he was promoted in 1892. From 1893 he was a repetitor, Chargé de Cours from 1898, an extraordinary professor in 1899, and from 1904 a full professor in Ghent where he lectured until 1936, when there was no teaching in French because of the flamation. He was emeritus in 1939.

He was one of the pioneers in projective differential geometry.

Demoulin received the Poncelet Prize in 1945 and the Prix Bordin of the Académie des Sciences in 1911. He was an honorary doctor in Brussels, Montpellier and Toulouse. In 1903 he became correspondent and full member of the Royal Belgian Academy of Sciences in 1911 and its president in 1927.
