| Bemærkning | Niels Erik Nørlund (1885 – 1981) was a Danish mathematician.
Agnete Wæver (1888 -1959) was the wife of Niels Erik Nørlund Nørlund's first publication was in 1905 when he published a paper on a known double star in Ursa Major which, with careful measurements of their orbits, he was able to deduce was actually a triple system with a third star which was too faint to observe. In the summer of 1910, he earned a Master's degree in astronomy and in October of that year he successfully defended his doctoral thesis in mathematics. In 1912 he was appointed to a new chair of mathematics at the university in Lund in Sweden. He became professor of mathematics at Copenhagen University in 1922. He also studied seismology and, in 1925, set up seismographic stations in Denmark and Greenland. In 1928 he persuaded the Danish government to set up a Geodesic Institute. Poul Nørlund (1888 – 1951) was a Danish archeologist.He received his doctorate from Copenhagen University in 1920. He worked at the National Museum from 1917 and from 1938 – 1951, he was its director. He is famous for his excavations of medieval Nordic sites in Greenland in the 1920’s and 1930’s and his excavations of the Viking fortress at Trelleborg on Zealand which he had great success in relating to the public. He was the brother of Margrethe Bohr and mathematician Niels Erik Nørlund. |
