Biography
Victor Mordechai Goldschmidt was born on February 10, 1853 in the city of Mainz .
In 1874, he was a mining engineer, then professor of crystallography and mineralogy at the University of Heidelberg .
He owns a number of innovations and improvements in the field of crystallographic research: for example, he invented a goniometer with two circles, which greatly simplifies and accelerates the measurement of crystals, developed a special system for graphically calculating crystals and, in connection with this, a special system for designating crystallographic forms, and special drawing techniques crystals, etc. He also improved some methods of analysis using a soldering tube (for example, quantitative determination of Au ) and determining the specific gravity using t heavy liquids.
Victor Mordechai Goldschmidt died on May 8, 1933 in the city of Salzburg, was buried in Heidelberg .
