Biography

Born in Christiania (now called Oslo), Guldberg was the second oldest out of 11 siblings.[4] He and his siblings were initially homeschooled, but he and his older brother, Cato Maximilian Guldberg, later began going to school in Fredrikstad, where they lived together with relatives.[4] He completed his examen artium in 1856,[4] cand.real. in 1863[4] and dr.philos. in 1867.[1][4]

In 1863, he was an adjunct professor in Drammen.[4] From 1864 to 1865, he studied mathematics in Germany and France, while simultaneously on his honeymoon.[4] In 1865, Guldberg became a rector in Stavanger.[1][4] The same year, he began teaching mathematics at the Norwegian Military Academy until 1899.[1][4]

He was an important figure in the insurance industry.[1][4] He also served in the Norwegian law commission.[5]

In 1866, he had a son, Alf Victor Guldberg, with his wife, Fredrikke Borchsenius.[6]
