Samuel Klingenstierna
Samuel Klingenstierna (18 August 1698 – 26 October 1765) was a Swedish mathematician and scientist. He started his career as a lawyer but soon moved to natural philosophy. As a student he gave lectures on the then novel mathematical analysis of Newton and Leibniz. Klingenstierna was a professor of geometry at Uppsala University from 1728. In 1750 he moved to physics but retired two years later to become an advisor to the Commander of Artillery. In 1756 he assumed the post of the tutor of the Crown Prince, the future king Gustav III. He was the first to enunciate errors in Newton's theories of refraction, geometrical notes that John Dollond used in his experiments. Later on he was instrumental in the invention of the Achromatic Telescope The achromatic telescope is a refracting telescope that uses an achromatic lens to correct for chromatic aberration. How it works When an image passes through a lens, the light is refracted at different angles for different wavelengths. T ...

Sofia Liljegren
Sofia Ulrika Liljegren, also known as ''Sofia Uttini'' (1765 – December 6, 1795), was a Swedish- Finnish soprano. She was likely the first professional opera singer from Finland, although she was active in Sweden. She was given the title '' hovsångerska''. Sofia Liljegren was born in Rantasalmi in Finland. In 1781, she was engaged at the choir of the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm. In 1783, she was the replacement of Elisabeth Olin in the main part of ''Iphigénie en Aulide'' by Gluck, after which she was recommended to Gustav III of Sweden as a soloist. She seem to have enjoyed a period of great popularity during the 1780s. Her perhaps most known part was Clytaimnestra in ''Elektra'' by Hæffner. She is often mentioned among the most notable names in the Swedish opera during the late 18th century. Gustaf Löwenhielm, while referring to her as somewhat overestimated and not as good as Inga Åberg, does mention her as one of the few native talents in the period between th ...
