Jakob Philipp Kulik (1793–1863) was an Austrian mathematician known for his construction of a massive factor tables.

Biography

Kulik was born in Lemberg, which was part of the Austrian empire, and is now Lviv located in Ukraine.

Kulik's factor tables

In 1825, Kulik mentioned a table of factors up to 30 million, but this table does no longer seem to exist. It is also not clear if it had really been completed.

From about 1825 until 1863 Kulik produced a factor table of numbers up to 100330200 (except for numbers divisible by 2, 3, or 5). This table basically had the same format as the table to 30 million and it is therefore most likely that the work on the "Magnus canon divisorum" spanned from the mid-1820s to Kulik's death, at which time the tables were still unfinished. These tables fill eight volumes totaling 4212 pages, and are kept in the archives of the Academy of Sciences in Vienna. Volume II of the 8-volume set has been lost.
