He became interested in science and mathematics since childhood. Not knowing any European language, he had to derive his information from Hebrew books alone. He later mastered German and French and went to study at University of Königsberg at the age of 17. He received a Ph.D. degree at Jena University with a thesis titled "Ueber die Räumlichen Strophoiden." He then moved to St. Petersburg, to work at University of St. Petersburg and continue his studies under Pafnuty Chebyshev. Soon afterwards he died in 1876 from smallpox. Lipkin broke from traditional Jewish life, but kept interests in Jewish affairs and published in ''Ha-Tsefirah'' newspaper. ==References== 〔 * Simona-Mariana Cretu, Gigi-Dragos Ciocioi-Troaca, Emil Soarece, and Eugen Marian Paun, Mechanical Models for Anti-Rhomb Linkage, in ''Explorations in the History of Machines and Mechanisms'', Springer, 2012, pp. 421-430. * Alan T.
