Mihalj Šilobod Bolšić (1 November 1724 – 4 April 1787) was a Croatian mathematician and musical theorist primarily known for writing the first Croatian arithmetics textbook Arithmetika Horvatzka (published in Zagreb, 1758).

Biography

He was born in Podgrađe Podokićko on 1 November 1724 and was initially schooled at the Jesuit college in Zagreb, continuing his education in Vienna and Bologna.[1] Šilobod then became a vicar in Martinska Ves near Sisak, and from 1760, resided in Sveta Nedelja. Apart from his main works, he also wrote poems in Latin. His best known work, Arithmetika Horvatzka, written in the vernacular Kajkavian dialect of Croatian, established a complete system of arithmetic terminology in Croatian, and vividly used examples from everyday life in Croatia to present mathematical operations.[2] It was published 1758 in Zagreb, divided in four parts.[3][4]

He died in Sveta Nedelja on 4 April 1787.

Legacy

Hrvatska pošta issued a commemorative stamp, celebrating 250 years since the publishing of Arithmatika Horvatzka.[4] Irena Mišurac Zorica concluded in her analysis of the work that Mihalj Šilobod Bolšić demonstrated a very high pedagogical and methodical maturity, creating a standard for further development of mathematics curriculum and education.[5]
