	Niels Henrik Abel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Niels Henrik Abel (August 5, 1802–April 6, 1829), Norwegian mathematician, was born in Finnøy.
		Abel's first notable work was a proof of the impossibility of solving the quintic equation by radicals (see Abel-Ruffini theorem.) This investigation was first published in 1824 in abstruse and difficult form, and afterwards (1826) more elaborately in the first volume of Crelle's Journal.
		In 1826 Abel moved to Paris, and during a ten month stay he met the leading mathematicians of France; but he was poorly appreciated, as his work was scarcely known, and his modesty restrained him from proclaiming his researchings.

		Niels Abel, the second of seven children, was one year old when his grandfather died and his father was appointed to succeed him as the minister at Gjerstad.
		Abel's father was, however, important in the politics of Norway and, after Sweden gained control of Norway in 1814, he was involved in writing a new constitution for Norway as a member of the Storting, the Norwegian legislative body.
		Abel was encouraged by Crelle to write a clearer version of his work on the insolubility of the quintic and this resulted in Recherches sur les fonctions elliptiques which was published in 1827 in the first volume of Crelle's Journal, along with six other papers by Abel.

		Abel was born at Finnöy, a small island near Stavanger, and studied at Oslo.
		In 1823 he provided the first solution in the history of mathematics of an integral equation and published a paper demonstrating that a radical expression to represent a solution to fifth- or higher-degree equations was impossible.
		Abel transformed the theory of elliptic integrals by introducing elliptic functions, and this generalization of trigonometric functions led eventually to the theory of complex multiplication, with its important implications for algebraic number theory.

	Biography of Niels Henrick Abel
		Abel was unable to meet his financial needs so he had to rely on grants from the University, gifts from his math professors, and tutoring positions to help his family.
		Abel sent a paper on the quintic equation to Gauss, who was at that time the leading mathematician, but Gauss thought that it was "another of those monstrosities" and he never even read it.
		Abel was able to get his paper on elliptic function and integrals which included Abel's Theorem, presented to the French Academy of Sciences, that meant that if his work was accepted he would get a lot of recognition.
