Wilhelm Johann Eugen Blaschke (13 September 1885 – 17 March 1962) was an Austro-Hungarian differential and integral geometer.
His students included Shiing-Shen Chern, Luis Santaló, and Emanuel Sperner.
In 1916 Blaschke published one of the first books devoted to convex sets: Circle and Sphere (Kreis und Kugel). Drawing on dozens of sources, Blaschke made a thorough review of the subject with citations within the text to attribute credit in a classical area of mathematics.

Famous quotes containing the word wilhelm:
“History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
