Sažetak
Numerous pages have been written about distinguished and world famous Croatian scientist Ruđer Josip Bošković and his work. He was a scientist with a broad range of work: a philosopher, mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geodesist, instrument constructor, hydrotechnician, structural engineer, archeologist, as well as a writer and a diplomat. In preparation for the celebration of the 300th anniversary of his birth, we recalled in this Engineering Power (2008, Vol. 7, No. 1) his life and work with special emphasis on his contribution to technics. After the celebration, we surely learned something new about our famous forebear. This especially concerns technical sciences, a field of Bošković’s activities, so this is a good opportunity to leave a record to help our successors in researching the life and work of the great invididual.
