Summary

Description
Nederlands: Portret in olieverf van Adriaan Metius, professor in de wiskunde aan de Franeker universiteit van 1598 tot 1635. Adriaan Metius (Alkmaar 9 december 1571 - Franeker 16 september 1635) heette eigenlijk Adriaan Adriaansz, maar het verhaal gaat dat medestudenten aan de Franeker universiteit hem de bijnaam Metius gaven, omdat hij zo geïnteresseerd was in wiskunde. Net als zijn vader overigens, die ingenieur en fortenbouwer was. Metius studeerde ook in Leiden, Rostock en Jena en ging in de leer bij Tycho Brahe, de beroemde sterrenkundige. Terug in de Republiek werd hij landmeter en kaartenmaker, tot hij door stadhouder Willem Lodewijk werd aanbevolen als hoogleraar wiskunde in Franeker. (tekst: Museum Martena)
