A mathematician is a scholar in the fields of mathematics. They solve and research mathematical problems which can be applied in real life or completely abstract (pure). This article covers notable mathematicians from Norway.

A pioneer of modern mathematics,[1] Niels Henrik Abel contributed greatly towards various fields of mathematics[2] during his short life. He died in 1829, aged 26, from tuberculosis.[2] German mathematician Felix Klein spoke of his reluctance "to part from this ideal type of researcher".[3] In 2001, the Abel Prize was established in his honour.[4]

Other notable mathematicians include (in alphabetical order) Carl Anton Bjerknes, Vilhelm Bjerknes, Bernt Michael Holmboe, who is known for being Abel's teacher and tutor,[5] Sophus Lie, Idun Reiten, Atle Selberg, Thoralf Skolem and Carl Størmer.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Alphabetical order[edit]

"Aa" appears under "å" as they are considered different representations of the same letter.
