In 1909 Milutin Milanković accepted the invitation of the Faculty of Philosophy of
the University of Belgrade and became a professor at the Department for Applied Mathematics.
"The Applied Mathematics Chair is my great desire. There I could find all the conditions to
develop my abilities and repay my people. I always appreciated mathematics as a wonderful
tool for solving the problems we face when studying nature and space", he explained his
decision. Unfortunately, very little is known about the teaching work of one of the greatest
scientists of all time. In this paper we will try to look at his lectures, based on the preserved
notes of one of his students, B. Pujić.
