[edit] Names

This guy has too many names. Does anyone know for sure whether it's "Carl Fredrik Mülertz Størmer" or "Fredrik Carl Mülertz Størmer" or what? —Keenan Pepper 20:58, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Berland found a biography at the web site of the University of Oslo, which says at the top "Fredrik Carl Mülertz Størmer" and "Han var både matematiker og geofysiker, spesielt nordlysforsker. Etter han fikk fast stilling ved universitetet kalte han seg Carl Størmer." His translation: "He was both a mathematician and geophysicists, focusing on aurora borealis. After he got a permanent position at the university he used the name Carl Størmer." That seems pretty authorative to both of us. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 16:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
