Editing Georg Ohm (section)

===Life in university===
Georg Ohm's father, concerned that his son was wasting his educational opportunity, sent Ohm to Switzerland. There, in September 1806, Ohm accepted a position as a mathematics teacher in a school in Gottstadt bei Nidau.

[[Karl Christian von Langsdorf]] left the University of Erlangen in early 1809 to take up a post in the [[Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg|University of Heidelberg]]. Ohm wanted to  restart his mathematical studies with Langsdorf in [[Heidelberg]]. Langsdorf, however, advised Ohm to pursue mathematical studies on his own, and suggested that Ohm read works of [[Leonhard Euler|Euler]], [[Pierre-Simon Laplace|Laplace]] and [[Sylvestre François Lacroix|Lacroix]]. Rather reluctantly Ohm took his advice but he left his teaching post in [[Gottstatt Monastery]] in March 1809 to become a private tutor in [[Neuchâtel]]. For two years he carried out his duties as a tutor while he followed Langsdorf's advice and continued his private study of mathematics. Then in April 1811 he returned to the University of Erlangen.
