Biography

He was born as member of the Roman Catholic Hungarian noble family Farkas de Kisbarnak, which can trace back their origins to the first half of the 17th century. His father was Farkas Ferenc de Kisbarnak (1820–1882), administrator of the states of Réde, property of the county Esterházys; his mother was Cecília Hoffmann (1826–1907). His paternal grandparents were János Farkas de Kisbarnak (1769–1822), state administrator of Súr (property of the Counts Zichys) and Anna Fiber. His maternal grandparents were István Hoffmann, states cashier and Rozália Vitmáier. His nephew was vitéz Ferenc Farkas de Kisbarnak Chief Scout of the Hungarian Boy Scouts, commanding officer of the Royal Ludovica Military Academy, Captain General of the Order of Vitéz. His other nephew was Gyula Farkas de Kisbarnak (1894–1958), literary historian, Finno-Ugric linguist, proffesor of the University of Göttingen.

He attended the gymnasium at Győr (Raab), and studied law and physics at Pest. After teaching in a secondary school at Székesfehérvár (Stuhlweissenburg), Farkas became in succession principal of the normal school at Pápa, privat-docent (1881) of mathematics at the University of Budapest, and professor of physics (1888) at Franz Joseph University of Kolozsvár (Klausenburg). He worked here up to 1915, when he retired and moved to Budapest.

The Hungarian Academy of Science elected him corresponding member May 6, 1898. He made a contribution to linear algebra with Farkas' lemma, which is named after him for his derivation of it.
