Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (16 or 17 December 1846 – 1 April 1916) was a Norwegian engineer.

Personal life

Sverdrup was born at the farm Rise in Sem as a son of Peter Jacob Sverdrup and Aaselle Thurmann.[1] He was a grandson of former owner of Rise farm Jacob Liv Borch Sverdrup, grandnephew of professor Georg Sverdrup, nephew of politician Harald Ulrik Sverdrup and Prime Minister Johan Sverdrup, first cousin once removed of professors Jakob Sverdrup and Georg Sverdrup, and a first cousin of bishop Jakob Sverdrup, professor Edvard Sverdrup,[2] bishop Jakob Sverdrup Smitt, politician Livius Smitt and agriculturalist Jonas Smitt.[3] He was the father of naval officer and politician Trygve Sverdrup.[4]

Career

Sverdrup got his first education at the agricultural school run at his family farm until 1861. From 1867 to 1869 he attended the Norwegian College of Agriculture at Aas. In 1874 a position engineer of agriculture became vacant, left behind by Jonas Smitt—his first cousin. Sverdrup was given the position, provided that he conducted a year of studies to be prepared. He spent the time from October 1874 to October 1875 in Sweden and Denmark. As engineer of agriculture from 1875, he was responsible for agriculture in the Diocese of Kristiania and the Diocese of Hamar. From 1913 this was changed to Akershus Amt, Hedemarkens Amt and Kristians Amt. He was also a member of the board of the Royal Norwegian Society for Development from 1893. He retired as engineer in June 1915, and died in April 1916 in Kristiania.[1]

gollark: So in theory (I said this to them, and apparently I wouldn't have enough time to cheat so it didn't matter, which would have been wrong as I in fact had lots of spare time) you could access the internet by manually sending HTTP requests from python and parsing the HTML, yes.

gollark: They "block internet access" by stopping the browsers opening. However, we can access python for obvious reasons, and python has built-in HTTP libraries.

gollark: Talking of great exam systems, I had a computer science exam today at school, and they do them partly on computers (nobody wants to write code on paper).

gollark: Nobody seemed to care or notice when someone found that Intel's ring interconnect thing was usable for similar covert channel stuff *and* actual side channel attacks.

gollark: As the article says, they had a ton of similar issues *anyway*, probably from using existing ARM stuff.
