Veblen taught mathematics at Princeton University from 1905 to 1932. Princeton University is a private Coeducational research university located in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1926, he was named Henry B. Fine Professor of Mathematics. Henry Burchard Fine (1858-1928 was an American university dean and mathematician. In 1932, he helped organize the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, resigning his professorship to become the first professor at the Institute that same year. The Institute for Advanced Study, located in Princeton New Jersey, United States is a center for theoretical research He kept his professorship at the Institute until he was made emeritus in 1950.

Veblen died in Brooklin, Maine, in 1960 at age 80. Brooklin is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States.

After his death the American Mathematical Society created an award in his name, called the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry. The American Mathematical Society (AMS is an association of professional Mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship which The Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry is an award granted by the American Mathematical Society for notable research in Geometry or Topology. It is awarded every three years, and is the most prestigious award in recognition of outstanding research in geometry.

Accomplishments

During his career, Veblen made important contributions in topology and in projective and differential geometries, including results important in modern physics. Projective geometry is a non- metrical form of Geometry, notable for its principle of duality. Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the methods of differential and integral Calculus to study problems in Geometry He introduced the Veblen functions of ordinals and used an extension of them to define the small and large Veblen ordinals. In mathematics the Veblen functions are a hierarchy of functions from ordinals to ordinals introduced by. In mathematics the Veblen ordinal is either of two Large countable ordinals The Small Veblen ordinal The Large Veblen ordinal He was involved in overseeing the World War II work that produced the pioneering ENIAC electronic digital computer. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was the first general-purpose electronic Computer. A computer is a Machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions. He also published a paper in 1912 on the four-color conjecture. The four color theorem (also known as the four color map theorem) states that given any plane separated into regions such as a political map of the states of a country
