THE MATHEMATICIAN SOPHUS LIE - ARILD STUBHAUG K...

Sophus Lie (1842-1899) is without doubt one of Norway's greatest scientific talents. His
mathematical works have made him famous around the world no less than Niels Henrik Abel. The
terms Lie groups and Lie algebra are today part of the standard mathematical vocabulary. In his
comprehensive biography the author Arild Stubhaug let us come close to both the person Sophus
Lie and his time. We follow him through childhood at the vicarage in Nordfjordeid  his growing
up in Moss  school and studying in Christiania  travelling in Europe and his contacts with the
leading mathematicians of his time. The academic and scientific career brought Lie from
Christiania to Leipzig as professor  before the attempt to call him back to Norway  when she
stood on the threshhold to national sovereignty  was successful.
