Martin Sekulić (Lovinac, Austrian Empire, today Croatia, 1833 – Zagreb, Austria-Hungary, today Croatia, 1905) was a mathematics and physics teacher in the Higher Real School in Rakovac[1] (today Karlovac).
He was member of the Yugoslavian Academy of Sciences and Arts (Jugoslavenske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti – JAZU) and member of the Coratian pedagogic and literary society (Hrvatski pedagogijsko-književni zbor) and public representative in the Provincial Assembly of the Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia.[2] He published several valuable works in German[dubious ], because it was the language of education in schools then, on physics, electric engineering and physical chemistry.[3]
He published several works in a series of books of the Yugoslavian Academy of Sciences and Arts, such as Fluorescencija i calcescencija (1871)[4] and Iztraživanje sunčane duge (1873).[5] In the first case, he explains the effect of the luminescence in some elements and in the second he talks about the visible spectrum of the sun's light. Not only he published several works, he also conducted some debates about the publications and its content. In one of them, Sekulić predicted the existence of electromagnetic oscillations at different frequencies.[6]
