This impressive work extended apolarity theory as introduced by Reye to projective geometry in several dimensions using the theory of rational curves. Meyer was appointed as professor of mathematics at the Bergakademie (mining academy) in Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Harz Mountains in 1888.
Ang kahanga-trabaho extended apolarity teorya bilang nagpasimula ng Reye sa projective geometry sa ilang aspeto ng paggamit ng teorya ng katuwiran kurva. Meyer ay hinirang bilang propesor ng matematika at ang Bergakademie (pagmimina academy) sa Clausthal-Zellerfeld sa Harz Mountains sa 1888.
