This book traces the life of Cholesky (1875-1918), and gives his
family history. After an introduction to topography, an English
translation of an unpublished paper by him where he explained his
method for linear systems is given, studied and replaced in its
historical context. His other works, including two books, are also
described as well as his involvement in teaching at a superior
school by correspondence. The story of this school and its founder,
Leon Eyrolles, are addressed. Then, an important unpublished book
of Cholesky on graphical calculation is analyzed in detail and
compared to similar contemporary publications. The biography of
Ernest Benoit, who wrote the first paper where Choleskys method is
explained, is provided. Various documents, highlighting the life
and the personality of Cholesky, end the book."
