Marius Lacombe (1862–1938) was a Swiss mathematician.
Life and work
Lacombe studied mathematics at Engineers Department of the ETH Zurich.[1] From 1890 to 1894 he was teaching descriptive geometry in the university of Lausanne.[2] In 1894 he was appointed professor at ETH Zurich[3] to fill a newly created chair of descriptive geometry in French language.[4] After fourteen years in Zurich, in 1908 he returned to university of Lausane, where he retired in 1927.[5]
He was more a teacher than a researcher. His only known works deal on pedagogy of mathematics.[6][5] In 1896 he was one of the organizers of the first International Congress of Mathematicians.
