Goesta Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927) played a significant role as both
a scientist and entrepreneur. Regarded as the father of Swedish
mathematics, his influence extended far beyond his chosen field
because of his extensive network of international contacts in
science, business, and the arts. He was instrumental in seeing to
it that Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize twice. One of
Mittag-Leffler's major accomplishments was the founding of the
journal Acta Mathematica , published by Institut Mittag-Leffler and
Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences. Arild Stubhaug's research for
this monumental biography relied on a wealth of primary and
secondary resources, including more than 30000 letters that are
part of the Mittag-Leffler archives. Written in a lucid and
compelling manner, the biography contains many hitherto unknown
facts about Mittag-Leffler's personal life and professional
endeavors. It will be of great interest to both mathematicians and
general readers interested in science and culture.
