physicist university professor
Temporarily he studied also in Leipzig, Munich, and Zurich. Afterwards he worked in Vienna under Josef Stefan at the Physical Institute, where he finished the habilitation and became a private lecturer in 1873.
There, he visited High School which he passed with great success in 1868. Soon the mathematical abilities of Streintz were discovered, so he occupied the subjects mathematics, physics and chemistry at the University of Graz. In 1875 he was appointed as an extraordinary professor for mathematical physics to Graz, where he also became an ordinary professor in 1885.
In his scientific work (both theoretically and experimentally) Streintz was concerned with Probability theory, elasticity, electricity et cetera
Streintz also wrote many abstracts and reviews for the Deutsche Literaturzeitung and for Austrian High Schools. However, his most important paper was "The physical foundations of mechanics" (German: Die physikalischen Grundlagen der Mechanik, ), where he criticized Newton"s definitions of inertia, and introduced the expression "Fundamental body" (German: Fundamentalkörper) and "Fundamental Coordinate System" (German: Fundamental-Koordinatensystem), by which inertial motion should be defined more exactly.
Similar considerations led shortly thereafter (1885) to the introduction of the term inertial frame of reference by Ludwig Lange.
