In 1856, he was appointed professor of mathematics at Halle, and in 1858 at Breslau.
Joachimsthal, who was Jewish, contributed essays to Crelle's Journal, 1846, 1850, 1854, 1861, and to Olry Terquem's Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques.
He is known for Joachimsthal's Equation[1] and Joachimsthal Notation ,[2] both associated with conic sections.[3]
