Meyer at the Davidschlag Observatory, Linz. Rudolf Taschner (b. 1953), professor of mathematics at the Technical University of Vienna, was named "Scientist of the year 2004" by the Österreichen Wissenschaftsjournalisten. One of Taschner's main interests is the popularization of mathematics, and to this end he founded "math.space" in 2003.
