| Bemærkning | Niels Erik Nørlund (1885 – 1981) was a Danish mathematician. 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. |
