Seelstrang, Arturo
Arturo Seelstrang (May 1838 – November 30, 1896), sometimes as 'de Seelstrang' or 'von Seelstrang,' was a Prussian-born Argentinian mathematician, cartographer, and geographer. He arrived in Argentina in 1863 and spent the first part of his career conducting topographical surveys for different railway companies. Due to his accomplishments in exploring and surveying, he was invited to serve as a Professor of Topography and later a Dean of the Faculty of Physical-Mathematical Sciences of the National University of Córdoba. In 1880, Seelstrang was appointed a member of the National Academy of Sciences (Academia Nacional de Ciencias) and two years later he joined as a member of the Board of Directors. He was also a member of the Argentine Geographical Institute (Instituto Geográfico Argentino). Among his most important contributions were the Atlas of the Argentine Republic (Atlas de la República Argentina) and the 'Hypsometric map of the Argentine Republic' ('Mapa hipsométrico de la República Argentina').
