| Bemærkning | Christian Bohr (1855 – 1911) was a Danish physiologist. He became professor of physiology at Copenhagen University in 1890.
Bohr demonstrated that the carbon dioxide in the blood, inhibits haemoglobin from binding oxygen in 1903, this is commonly known as the Bohr effect. He was married to Ellen Adler and father of Niels, Harald and Jenny Bohr. Harald Bohr (1887 - 1951) was a Danish mathematician and brother of Niels Bohr. Harald studied mathematics at the University of Copenhagen. He entered the University in 1904 and quickly became a well known Danish personality, not for his mathematics but rather for his soccer skills. He was in the Danish football team which was placed second in the 1908 Olympic games in London. he became professor of mathematics in the Polytechnic Institute in Copenhagen in 1915. Then, in 1930, he was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Copenhagen. Harald Bohr worked on Dirichlet series, and applied analysis to the theory of numbers. Bohr's interest in which functions could be represented by a Dirichlet series led him to devise the theory of almost periodic functions. He founded this theory between the years 1923 and 1926 and it is with this work that his name is now most closely associated. Ellen Adler (later Bohr) (1860 - 1930) married Christian Bohr in 1881. She was the mother of Jenny Bohr, Niels Bohr and Harald Bohr. Jenny Bohr (1883 - 1933) was the elder sister of Niels and Harald Bohr. Nærumgaard was the summer residence of the Adler family, Niels Bohr's maternal family. |
