Johan Antony Barrau (3 April 1873, Oisterwijk – 8 January 1953, Utrecht) was a Dutch mathematician, specializing in geometry. Barrau was educated at the Dutch Royal Naval College at Willemsoord and then at the University of Amsterdam. From 1891 to 1898, Barrau was an officer with the Royal Netherlands Navy, later with the Netherlands Marine Corps. However, he left the service and became a mathematics teacher at a Hogere Burgerschool in Dordrecht until 1900, then in Amsterdam. In 1907 he obtained his PhD at the University of Amsterdam under the supervision of Diederik Korteweg. From 1908 to 1913 Barrau was a mathematics professor at the Delft University of Technology. He was a professor of synthetic, analytical and descriptive differential geometry at the University of Groningen from 1913 t

  • Johan Antony Barrau (Oisterwijk, 3 d'abril de 1873 - Utrecht, 8 de gener de 1953) va ser un matemàtic neerlandès. Barrau es va formar a l'Escola Naval Reial dels Països Baixos a la població de Willemsoord. Des del 1891 fins al 1898 va ser oficial de la Marina Reial dels Països Baixos i, més tard, del cos de marines dels Països Baixos. Tanmateix, va deixar el servei i es va convertir en professor de matemàtiques de l'institut de secundària a Dordrecht i, després, a Amsterdam, on va estudiar a la universitat d'Amsterdam. El 1907 va obtenir el doctorat en aquesta universitat sota la supervisió de Diederik Korteweg. Del 1908 al 1913 va ser professor de matemàtiques a la universitat de tècnica de Delft. Va ser professor de geometria diferencial sintètica, analítica i descriptiva a la universitat de Groningen del 1913 al 1928, on va tenir com alumne destacat Jan Hendrik Oort. Des del 1928 fins a la seva jubilació el 1943, als 70 anys, va ser professor a la universitat d'Utrecht. Va rebre diversos guardons civils i militars. Barrau va publicar un llibre de text sobre geometria analítica i diversos articles en revistes nacionals i internacionals. Va ser conferenciant convidat dels congresos internacionals de matemàtiques de 1920 (Estrasburg) i de 1924 (Toronto). (ca)

From 1928 until his retirement at age 70, he was a professor at Utrecht University. He received the military service medal consisting of the Expedition Cross with the Atjeh clasp and was named Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion. Barrau published a textbook on analytical geometry and various articles in national and international journals. He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1920 at Strasbourg and in 1924 at Toronto. (en)
