Summary
Updated 2026-06-26

Hüseyin Tevfik Pasha was a mathematician from the Ottoman Empire and military adjutant representing the Ottoman Empire in the purchase of foreign rifles. He is remembered for his Linear Algebra which outlined some vector algebra including a "special perpendicular" and properties of curves. The book title was precocious since the early vector algebra was generalized in vector space, and this concept later produced linear algebra. He is known as Tawfiq Pasha of Vidin or as Vidinli Huseyin, Tawfiq Pasha in Turkish literature. He served as Envoy of the Ottoman Empire to the United States.
