Project Details
Description
The Danish mathematician Jakob Nielsen won international recognition as
one of the developers of combinatorial group theory and the topology of
surfaces. In the period 1925--1951, Nielsen was professor of rational
mechanics at the Technical University of Denmark; in this connection he wrote
a highly original textbook in rational mechanics. A biography of Jakob
Nielsen, to be included in a monograph on the history of topology, has
been written; it contains new informations about his relations to other
mathematicians and a description of his pioneering work in the topology of
surfaces.
