		Diederik Johannes Korteweg (1848–1941) was born and raised in ’s Hertogenbosch, in the Southern Dutch province of Brabant.
		In September 1881, at the age of 34, Korteweg was appointed a professor of mathematics at the University of Amsterdam.
		Korteweg was associated with Van der Waals during the years that the latter was working on the phase separation of binary mixtures.

	Korteweg biography
		Korteweg originally intended to become an engineer but, although he maintained an interest in mechanics and other applications of mathematics throughout his life, his love of mathematics made him change direction for the second time when he was not enjoying the technical courses at Delft.
		It is worth realising the breadth of Korteweg as a mathematician when one understands that most of his work is on applied mathematical topics, yet he supervised Brouwer's thesis on the foundations of mathematics.
		Korteweg was a member of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) for sixty years, being elected in 1881, and of the Wiskundig Genootschap (the

		The equation is named for Diederik Korteweg and Gustav de Vries.
		Mathematical aspects of equations of Korteweg-de Vries type are discussed on the Dispersive PDE Wiki.

		But 100 years ago a Dutch physicist named Diederik Korteweg pointed out a complication: sometimes miscible fluids act like immiscible fluids.
		Korteweg was fascinated by what happens during that curious time just after miscible fluids are combined and just before they dissolve.
		Korteweg knew that immiscible fluids tend to break apart into little droplets--a side-effect of surface tension.

		But in 1901, a scientist from Holland named Diederik Korteweg claimed that one type can sometimes behave like the other.
		In those first moments, Korteweg reasoned, the fluid physics should be similar for both mixture types.
		Knowing whether Korteweg's theory is true, and understanding the molecular interactions that underlie it, would be a step forward for materials science and fluid physics, says John Pojman, a professor of chemistry at the University of Southern Mississippi.

		The late 19th century studies of Dutch mathematician Diederik Johannes Korteweg (1848-1941) anticipated important work to be done in the 20th century, and the types of questions he tackled continue to be of interest.
		Korteweg also studied the stress--now called the Korteweg stress--resulting from density gradients at an interface between two fluids.

		Second, the reliance on a philosophy of mind introduces features that are absent from classical mathematics as well as from other forms of constructive mathematics: unlike those, intuitionistic mathematics is not a proper part of classical mathematics.
		Brouwer studied at the (municipal) University of Amsterdam where his most important teachers were Diederik Korteweg (of the Korteweg-de Vries equation) and, especially philosophically, Gerrit Mannoury.
		Brouwer's principal students were Maurits Belinfante and Arend Heyting; the latter, in turn, was the teacher of Anne Troelstra and Dirk van Dalen.

		The Korteweg de Vries equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation of third order.
		She was suggested to 1895 for the first time by Diederik Korteweg and Gustav de Vries to the analysis of shallow water waves in close channels.
		A solution of the equation leads to the mathematical representation of Solitonen, which were observed for the first time in hydrodynamic tanks 1844 by John Scott Russell.

		Interestingly, one of Van der Waals’s close colleagues, the mathematician Johannes Diederik Korteweg, can be characterized as a typical mathematical physicist.
		Korteweg, who was Van der Waals’s first student (and in fact the first to obtain a doctorate at the University of Amsterdam) was much interested in applications of mathematics.
		We know him nowadays in the first place as one of the names in the famous Korteweg-De Vries equation, but he has done much more.

		When we look at individual papers we find that the most-cited pre-1900 article was published by the Dutch applied mathematicians Diederik Johannes Korteweg and Gustav de Vries in Philosophical Magazine in 1895.
		This paper, which introduced the concept of solitons, received about 600 citations in all journals (not just physics journals).
		For instance, Gustav de Vries does not appear in table 1 because he was the second author on the paper with Korteweg.

		Airy and Stokes--and Russell himself, for that matter--had all failed to grasp that enduring waves could emerge from this balance.
		In 1895 the Dutch mathematicians Diederik Johannes Korteweg and Hendrik de Vries recognized that such a balance of dispersion and compression could in fact produce a lone, durable lump of a wave, but they believed it could stem only from a highly unusual set of circumstances that would rarely occur in the real world.
		It wasn't until 1965 that Martin Kruskal of Princeton and Norman Zabusky of Bell Laboratories realized that rather than being freaks of nature, these "solitons," as the two mathematicians dubbed them, appeared to be the rule.
