Stein Rokkan 2023 - A Man of Several Worlds: Arild Stubhaug Stein Rokkan 2023 - A Man of Several Worlds
Arild Stubhaug; Translated by Lucy Moffatt
R2,999 Discovery Miles 29 990 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Stein Rokkan (1921–1979) introduced the concepts of ‘centre and periphery’ and ‘counterculture’. He also formulated the idea that ‘votes count but resources decide’ in elections. Rokkan was a founder of Norwegian social science, who became a world leader in the discipline. This biography offers an intimate portrait of the scientist and the man. Born in Lofoten and raised in Narvik, he rapidly became a star talent at Oslo University. He was courted by the great American universities, and universities in Manchester, London, and Paris, but opted to stay in Bergen, accepting only sporadic visiting professorships. Rokkan was a powerhouse in the political science discipline, especially in the relatively new field of comparative politics. When he died in 1979, aged only 58, his contribution drew praise from all sides; he had become a role model, the epitome of the international scholar. Who was he?

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 Nodfjordeid, 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.

Read about the dramatic life of an outstanding mathematical genius: Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829). Arild Stubhaug, who is both a historian and a mathematician, has written the definitive biography of Niels Henrik Abel. The Norwegian original edition was a sensational success, and Arild Stubhaug was awarded the most prestigious Norwegian literary prize (Brageprisen) in the category non-fiction. Everyone with an interest in the history of mathematics and science will enjoy reading this book on one of the most famous mathematicians of the 19th century.

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.

Auszuge aus einer Rezension der englischen Ausgabe:
"Ein mathematisches Genie, das viel zu fruh starb und das quasi erst auf dem Totenbett die Stelle angeboten bekam, die seinem Leben eine finanzielle Basis gegeben und ihm eine grosse Karriere eroffnet hatte... In der Mathematikgeschichte ist eine Biographie, aus der man leicht ein Film-Drehbuch machen konnte, kein Einzelfall (Galois, Ramanujan, ...), im vorliegenden Buch wird das Leben von Abel liebevoll und sehr ausfuhrlich nachgezeichnet. Man kann das Buch als erste Einfuhrung in die von Abel entwickelte Mathematik lesen. (Es gibt in dem Buch aber keine einzige Formel, wirklich schwierig wird es an keiner Stelle.) Es bietet auch die Moglichkeit, viel Interessantes aus der europaischen, insbesondere der norwegischen Geschichte zu Beginn des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts zu erfahren. ..."
