Johannes Droste (28 May 1886 – 16 September 1963)[1] was a Dutch mathematician and the second person, after Karl Schwarzschild, to have solved Einstein's field equation.

Biography

On 27 May 1916,[2] a student of Hendrik Lorentz at the University of Leiden,[1] Droste presented his solution of Einstein's equation to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[2] He obtained his doctorate in 1916.[1] From 1914 to 1919, Droste taught mathematics at the gymnasium in Gorinchem.[1] He then joined the University of Leiden and became professor of mathematics there in 1930.[1] Devoting himself to the teaching of mathematical analysis, he abandoned his research in physics, with the exception of a few contributions in elasticity and thermodynamics.[1]
