| Thoralf Albert Skolem (2890 words) |
 | Thoralf Skolem was born on 23 May 1887 in Sandsvær, in the county of Buskerud in Southern Norway. |
| Skolem passed his ``Examen artium'' (which is the concluding examination of the Norwegian Gymnasium) in 1905 and immediately afterwards started to study mathematics and science at the University of Oslo, where in 1913 he obtained his degree in mathematics. |
| Skolem had been the first, for example, to determine the free distributive lattice generated by n elements (1913); he had shown that every implicative lattice is distributive and, as a partical converse, that every finite distributive lattice is implicative (1919). |
