| '''Erland Samuel Bring''' (19 August 1736 – 20 May 1798) was a [[Sweden|Swedish]] mathematician. | |
| | |
| Bring studied at [[Lund University]] between 1750 and 1757. In 1762 he obtained a position of a reader in history and was promoted to professor in 1779. At Lund he wrote eight volumes of mathematical work in the fields of algebra, geometry, analysis and astronomy, including ''Meletemata quaedam mathematematica circa transformationem aequationum algebraicarum'' (1786). This work describes Bring's contribution to the algebraic solution of equations.

| Bring had developed an important transformation to simplify a [[quintic equation]] to the form <math>x^5 + px + q = 0</math> (see [[Bring radical]]). In 1832–35 the same transformation was independently derived by [[George Jerrard]]. However, whereas Jerrard knew from the past work by [[Paolo Ruffini]] and [[Niels Henrik Abel]] that a general quintic equation can not be solved, this fact was not known to Bring, putting him in a disadvantage.<ref>J J O'Connor and E F Robertson [http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Bring.html Erland Samuel Bring]</ref>

The author's title is Christy Brookins. It's not a typical thing but what she likes doing is to perform domino but she doesn't have the time lately. Distributing production is where my primary earnings arrives from and it's some thing I really enjoy. Ohio is where his home is and his family loves it.
