Physicists. From 1872 to 1874, while he was still a student, he acted as an assistant to Karel Koristka. He submitted his habilitation thesis on practical geometry (geodesy) to the Technical University at Prague in 1876 and obtained the right to lecture. From 1875 to 1886 he taught at the Second German Realschule in Prague. He married Adalberta Willigh in 1878 and had a daughter Berta, born in 1879, a son Emanuel, a second son, Erich, and a second daughter, Elisabet, born in 1884. His daughter, Berta, later made a morganatic marriage with Archduke Ferdinand Karl of Austria, brother of Franz Ferdinand whose assassination in Sarajevo started WWI.

devoted to questions concerning actuarial mathematics. He wrote several books (in German) such as
Theorie der Beobachtungsfehler (1891), Die Entwicklung der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und ihre Anwendungen (1898), Die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und ihre Anwendungen auf Fehlerausgleichung. Statistik und Lebensversicherung (first edition 1903, second edition 1908, reprinted 1968), Die statistischen Forschungsmethoden (1921), Die philosophischen Grundlagen der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung (1923), and Mathematische Bevölkerungstheorie (1923).

He graduated from a German secondary school (Realschule) in 1869 and continued his studies at the German
Technical University in Prague, where he played an active part in the Association for Free Lectures on Mathematics - a student association and the predecessor of the Union of Czech Mathematicians

Among the topics Czuber studied was probability theory and related areas, contributing in 1900 to the 'Enzyklopädie der mathematischen
Wissenschaften'. In fact, he wrote the first papers with original results on the probability theory in the Czech region. A large part of his studies, however, was

For several years he was an editor of 'Technische Blätter' (1876 to 1886). He also wrote some textbooks, e.g., 'Lehrbuch über
Differential- und Integralrechnung' (1898) and 'Einführung in die höhere Mathematik' (1909). He translated a textbook 'Calcul des probabilités', which had been written by

Franz A Meyer. On the other hand his book
Wahrscheinlichkeiten und Mittelwerte (1884) was translated into French, although the translation was not published until 1902. As an author he was active right up to the end of his life.

He was honoured many times: at the age of 48 he was a "court advisor" (a special title typical for Austro-Hungarian Empire). He also received an honorary degree from the
Technical University in Munich in 1918.
