Jakob Nielsen and his Contributions to Topology

    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.
