A chapter in Gösta Mittag-Leffler, 2010, pp 85-90 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract His conversation with Hultman during Christmas convinced Gösta that he was on the right track. Hultman had even predicted that before long the two of them might collaborate on writing a mathematics treatise. For Gösta, Hultman’s enthusiasm went far beyond what he had hoped, especially because the professor always expected everyone else to have the same capacity for work that he possessed. Nevertheless, Gösta accepted the tutoring that Hultman offered, and he immediately began hearing interpretations about the benefits of the newfangled integral calculus. To prepare for the next semester in Uppsala and the lectures of Adjunct Herman Theodor Daug, Gösta was now studying differential equations as well. Otherwise he spent the Christmas vacation going to traditional parties and enjoying the company of his family. As usual, Gösta found great joy in spending time with his sister Anne Charlotte, and he was very fond of his sister’s friend, Thekla Sköldberg, a master at mimicry whose subjects included the famed Signe Hebbe.
