The great nineteenth-century

mathematician

Peter Gustav Lejeune

Dirichlet (1805 ― 59)

studied in Paris, coming

under the influence

of scholars including Fourier

and Legendre.

He then taught at Berlin and

Göttingen

universities, where he was…

Niels Henrik Abel

(1802 ― 29) was one

of the most prominent

mathematicians in the

first half of the nineteenth

century. His

pioneering work in

diverse areas such as

algebra, analysis,

geometry and mechanics

has made the adjective

'abelian'...

University has attracted

some of the world's

greatest mathematicians.

This 1889 book gives a

compelling account of

how mathematics

developed at Cambridge

from the middle ages to

the late nineteenth

century...

Upon Reading the Mathematical Intelligencer

In infinite dimension spaces

Mathematics and the end of the world

Quaternions were at Brougham Bridge

Like springtime violets in the woods

Aside from classical equations of motion

Exploding bubbles and garden ― of ― Eden

The essential singularity at - infinity

The world according to mathematics.
