Carl Christoffer Georg Andræ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

(Redirected from Carl Andrae)

Carl Christoffer Georg Andræ (14 October 1812–2 February 1893) was a Danish politician and mathematician. From 1842 until 1854, he was professor of mathematics and mechanics at the national military college. Andræ was elected to the Royal Danish Academy in 1853. In the next year he became Finance Minister in the Cabinet of Bang before also becoming Council President of Denmark 1856-1857 as leader of the Cabinet of Andræ. After being replaced as Council President by Carl Christian Hall in 1857 Andræ continued as Finance Minister in the Cabinet of Hall I until 1858.

Though thoroughly convinced of the soundness of his single transferable vote method of electing representatives and ready to defend it in the cabinet or the parliament, he made no effort to bring it to the attention of scientific men and statesmen in other countries, much less to defend his claim as an inventor.
