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.
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]
