Regiomontanus (1436–76) A central figure in mathematics in the 15th century. Born Johann Müller, he took as his name the Latin form of Königsberg, his birthplace. His De triangulis omnimodis (‘On All Classes of Triangles') was the first modern account of trigonometry, and, even though it did not appear in print until 1533, it was influential in the revival of the subject in the West.
