Abstract
Friedrich Engel arrived in Christiania in September of 1884, and he stayed for about nine months. He would later become Lie’s closest collaborator, and came to devote much of his life to working on Lie’s mathematics. It was Engel who was the driving force behind the publication of Lie’s Gesammelte Abhandlungen in seven volumes — the last volume being published in 1960, nineteen years after Engel’s own death.
