The Mathematician I chose is Aage Niels Bohr he was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 19, 1922. Aage was Niels and Margrethe Bohr's fourth son. His parents were Niels and Margrethe Bohr.  

During Aage's childhood him and his parents moved to the mansion at Carlsberg where his parents were hosts for widening circles of scholars, artists, and persons in public life. Then in the year of 1945 his father Niels and him they traveled together spending periods of time in London, Washington, and Los Alamos. Aage was acting as his fathers assistant and secretary and had the opportunity each day to share is work and thoughts. His father and him were members of the British team, and Aage's official position was that of a junior scientific officer employed by The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in London.

Aage's went to school for twelve years at Sortedam Gymnasium and was proud to have the teachers, both in humanities and in the sciences, for inspiration and encouragement. He began studying physics at the University of Copenhagen in the year of 1940 (after the few years with the German occupation of Denmark). By the time Aage's had already began to help his father with his writing of articles of a general character and had also connection in with his father's work in physics.

In 1950 in New York City, Aage married to Marietta Soffer. Her and Him have three children together; their names are Vilhelm, Tomas, and Margrethe. Both for his wife and him the personal friendships that have grown between scientific contacts with colleagues from so many different countries has been an important part of their lives, and the traveling they made together in connection with the world wide scientific cooperation has gave them satisfying treasures of experience.

Still till this day Aage Niels Bohr is still alive.
