He graduated from the Cathedral School of Christiania, then served for a short time in a military campaign against Sweden in 1814. Holmboe was appointed assistant to the astronomer C Hansteen at Christiania in 1815. In 1818 he became a teacher at the Cathedral School of Christiania. It was at this school that he was the mathematics teacher of Abel and he helped pay for Abel 's university education. In 1826 Holmboe accepted a position as lecturer at the University of Christiania, a move which some have criticised since this might have been a possible post for Abel . However Abel did not seem to feel this way as he remained firm friends with Holmboe. From 1826 to 1850 Holmboe lectured at the military academy in Christiania. In 1834 he was appointed to the chair of pure mathematics at the University. During the years 1828-30 Holmboe lectured on astronomy since Hansteen went on a geomagnetic expedition to Siberia. After Abel 's death Holmboe edited Abel 's complete works in 1839. Holmboe also wrote a textbook.

Meterkonvensjonen Måling og enheter et av hovedmomentene i matematikken i Mønsterplanen. Den enheten vi kanskje tenker først på når vi snakker om målinger er en meter. Men hvor lang er egentlig en meter ? En meter er en av grunnenhetene i det målesystemet som vi bruker. Dette systemet kalles ofte for metersystemet, men vi omtaler det noe mer presist som SI-systemet (Système Internationale d'Unites). En meter trenger derfor en særskilt definisjon. Den definisjonen som vi bruker i dag har en historie tilbake til den franske revolusjonen. Ole Jacob Brosch var født i Fredrikstad i 1818. Han ble student 17 år gammel, men allerede som 16-åring fikk han privatundervisning i matematikk av Bernt Michael Holmboe (1795-1850). Holmboe har vel i ettertid blitt mest kjent fordi han tok seg av Niels Henrik Abel. Holmboe satte Brosch i gang med å arbeide med såkalte elliptiske integraler, og Brosch rekonstruerte mange av Abels resultater på dette området (disse var midlertidig forsvunnet). Ole Jacob Brosch studerte matematikk ved den tidens sentrale læresteder - Paris, Berlin og Köningsberg. Brosch hadde et vidt interessefelt både i og utenfor matematikken. Han var blant annet også sterkt opptatt av undervisning. I 1843 grunnla han sammen med Hartvig Nissen det som senere ble kalt Nissens skole. Han var bestyrer fram til 1847, da han igjen gikk tilbake til matematikken. I 1847 tok han doktorgraden på et arbeid om lysbryting i krystaller og ble fra 1848 lektor i ren matematikk ved Universitetet i Oslo, og senere altså professor.

10.1. Abel, Niels (1802-1829) IRA Niels Abel was one of the innovators in the field of elliptic functions, discoverer of Abelian functions and one of the leaders in the use of rigor in mathematics. His work was so revolutionary that one mathematician stated: "He has left mathematicians something to keep them busy for five hundred years." However, his life did not mirror his mathematical success and his story is one of the most tragic in the sciences. Abel's first main contribution to mathematics came before entering college. For hundreds of years, mathematicians had searched in vain to discover the general solution for the quintic equation a x + b x + c x + d x + e x + f = . Abel developed what he thought was the answer. Holmboe and Hansteen knew there was no one in Norway with the ability to understand if the answer was correct, so they sent the paper to the mathematician Ferdinand Degen in Denmark. Before receiving an answer, Abel discovered a mistake in his figures and questioned if there was an answer. Taking the tract that there was not, he eventually proved that an algebraic solution to the quintic equation was impossible. More important, however, Degen suggested that Abel take up the subject of elliptic integrals, which would become the focus of his work and the source of his fame. Before entering the University of Oslo in 1821, Abel's father died, leaving his son to support his mother and six siblings. Unable to meet his financial needs, he relied on grants from the university, gifts from his math professors and tutoring positions to keep his family afloat. However, his mathematics flourished. After fulfilling the requirements for graduation in one year, he was left on his own to study. In 1823, he published his first important paper on definite integrals, which included the first ever solutions of an integral equation. He also produced another valuable work on the integration of functions. Both of these works would have brought him instant renown and a professorship if anyone would have read them. Unfortunately, the works were written in Norwegian while the leading mathematicians of Europe wrote in French and German. The papers were ignored.

Lincoln Ellsworth "School was a horror. I couldn't do anything with school - always the dunce of my classes, always falling behind. It was to be this way throughout my school and college days. Not until, years later, I found my true interest in life did I discover that I could master a subject, no matter how difficult, if it helped me in what I wanted to do." Together with pilot Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, Lincoln Ellsworth would complete the first transantarctic flight in history. With four stops along the route, the flight covered 2200 miles with an elapsed time of approximately 20 hours. The transantarctic flight was the longest flight in Antarctic history, an accomplishment not repeated again until January 1956. That the flight was successful under such extreme conditions was the result of a combination of a good airplane, flown by a man with excellent pilot and navigational skills, together with a great deal of courage and just plain luck. Ellsworth's Introduction to Polar Exploration Together with the dawn of aerial exploration in the polar regions came a proliferation of expeditions and sojourns, many of which became "firsts" for this new method of discovery. Ellsworth's initial exposure to polar adventures began on May 21, 1925, when he

Back to the Table of Contents Biographies of Mathematicians - Abel Abel's Early Life The Many Struggles of Abel Abel's Accomplishments "He has left mathematicians something to keep them busy for five hundred years" Neils Henrick Abel was one of the first explorers into the world of functions and discovered Abelian functions. The life of Abel is one of the most tragic in all of the sciences. Abel's Early Life On August 5, 1802 Niels Henrick Abel was born in Finnoy, Norway to a Lutheran minister. Shortly after he was born, Abel and his eight family members moved to Gjerstad, Norway. Abel was educated at home until the age of 13, which is when he was admitted to the Cathedral School in Oslo. At Oslo, his math was rather unimpressive, but when his teacher was dismissed for beating the pupils, Abel became good friends with his new instructor, Bernt Michael Holmboe. Holmboe was supportive of Abel because of Abel's ability in mathematics. Holmboe encouraged Abel with books and problems, but Abel quickly found himself teaching his instructor because of his vast amount of knowledge. Accepted to the Cathedral School at the age of 13.

At the end of each item are initials in parentheses, indicating the index from which the listing has been taken: BD = Bibliotheca Danica ; NB = Norsk Bogfortegnelse Henrik Ibsen did not attend the Latin school, but the teachers of the school he did attend, W. F. Stockfleth and Johan Hansen, placed an ad in the Skien newspaper in January of 1840 inviting students to come "bringing with them the books they had used before." This suggests that the teachers were able to work with students who used a variety of textbooks; besides, schoolbooks at that time were fairly standardized. History was one of Ibsen’s favorite subjects, and there is evidence that indicates he was familiar with Kofod’s world history and P. A. Munch’s Scandinavian history, both of which are on this list. He also studied Latin in Skien, and both Sallust’s history of the Catilinarian conspiracy, and Cicero’s 4 orations against Catiline, which he said he used later to prepare for the university entrance exams, are on this list.

Niels Henrik Abel Categories Mathematicians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Niels Henrik Abel August 5 April 6 Norwegian mathematician , was born at Finnoey . In 1815 he entered the cathedral school at Christiania (as Oslo was then called), and three years later he gave proof of his mathematical genius by his brilliant solutions of the original problems proposed by Bernt Holmboe . About this time, his father, a poor Protestant minister, died, and the family was left in straitened circumstances; but a small pension from the state allowed Abel to enter Christiania University in 1821. Abel's first notable work was a proof of the impossibility of solving the quintic equation by radicals (see Abel-Ruffini theorem .) This investigation was first published in 1824 in abstruse and difficult form, and afterwards (1826) more elaborately in the first volume of Crelle's Journal . Further state sponsorship enabled him to visit Germany and France in 1825, and having visited the astronomer Schumacher (1780-1850) in Altona near Hamburg he spent six months in Berlin , where he became well acquainted with August Leopold Crelle , who was then about to publish his mathematical journal. This project was warmly encouraged by Abel, who contributed much to the success of the venture. From Berlin he passed to Freiberg, and here he made his brilliant researches in the theory of functions:
