	Niels Henrik Abel
		Niels Henrik Abel was one of the most prominent mathematicians of the world in the first half of the 19th century.
		Niels Henrik Abel was born on August 05, 1802 in Finnøy, an island near the Norwegian town of Stavanger.
		Abel’s father was a member of the session of the Norwegian Parliament (Storting) that was specially convened in 1814 with a specific purpose—rewriting the Norwegian constitution reflecting union with Sweden in place of Denmark.

	Abel biography
		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.

	Trivia - Niels Henrik Abel
		Niels Henrik Abel (August 5, 1802—April 6, 1829), Norway mathematician, was born in Finnøy.
		Abels 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 Crelles 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 Henrik Abel
		Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829), Norwegian mathematician, was born at Findoe on the 25th of August 1802.
		In 1815 he entered the cathedral school at Christiania (as Oslo was then called), and three years later he gave proof of his mathematical genius by his brilliant solutions of the original problems proposed by Bernt Holmboe.
		Under Abel's guidance, the prevailing obscurities of analysis began to be cleared, new fields were entered upon and the study of functions so advanced as to provide mathematicians with numerous ramifications along which progress could be made.

	Niels Henrik Abel
		Niels Henrik was only thirteen years of age, and this was younger than usual for a boy to be sent away from home.
		Niels Henrik and his brother were admitted to the Cathedal School in Oslo, an institution founded around 1250 AD as a Latin school for the children of government officials.
		Niels Henrik described Christine to his friend Keilhau: “She is not beautiful, has read hair and freckles, but she is a wonderful girl.” This description later changed the lives of both Keilhau and Christine.

	Abel, Niels Henrik (1802-1829)
		In this early paper, Abel showed the impossibility of solving the general quintic by means of radicals, thus laying to rest a problem that had perplexed mathematicians since the mid-16th century.
		Abel, chronically poor throughout his life, was granted a small stipend by the Norwegian government that allowed him to go on a mathematical tour of Germany and France.
		Abel revolutionized the important area of elliptic integrals with his theory of elliptic functions, contributed to the theory of infinite series, and founded the theory of commutative groups, known today as Abelian groups.

	Niels Henrik Abel Summary
		Born near Stavanger, Norway, Abel was the son of Sören Georg Abel, a Lutheran minister and prominent figure in the Norwegian nationalist movement.
		Abel believed he had discovered a general solution and presented his results to his teacher Holmboe, who was wise enough to realize Abel's mathematical reasoning was already beyond his full comprehension.
		Abel was born the son of a Lutheran minister in a small town in Norway.

		Søren Georg Abel is an interesting if minor figure in the history of Norway, and his rise and fall accounts for the poverty that dogged Niels Henrik throughout his short life.
		The portraits of the important people in Abel's life are particularly well drawn, although his fiancée Christine Kemp remains slightly in the shade: it is easier to find out about energetic male explorers of remote Norway than most women of the period.
		Niels Henrik Abel remains an elusive figure, although the pathos of his raging at his early death is well conveyed.

		The fact that "Abel" was the name of the second son of Adam and Eve may have played a rôle in the design of these arms, which Niels Abel inherited from his Danish ancestors.
		This would properly place the focus on the parents of the biblical Abel, with the mythical tree and snake serving merely to identify the couple...
		Abel is one of those rare beings that nature produces barely once a century.

		Niels Henrik Abel (Findö, Noruega, 5 de agosto de 1802 - Froland, Noruega, 6 de abril de 1829) fue un matemático noruego.
		Abel conoció al astrónomo Schumacher (1780-1850) en Altona cerca de Hamburgo cuando residió seis meses en Berlín, en donde colaboró en la elaboración para su publicación del diario matemático de August Leopold Crelle.
		En 1826 Abel viajó a París, permaneciendo allí unos diez meses; allí conoció a los matemáticos franceses más importantes, aunque ni él ni su trabajo (poco conocido) fueron especialmente valorados.
