Anders Gabriel Duhre (around 1680-1739) was a student at the Swedish Collegium of Mine-Inspectors and an algebraist at the Swedish Fortifications Administration. Besides mathematics his main interest lay in economics. According to his own words he had presented the idea of a Laboratorium mathematico-oeconomicum, that is an economic technical school based on practical agriculture, to King Charles XII in 1707. The teaching staff of the laboratory was to form a "society" and the institute would consequently bring together elements from the university and the academy. The teaching would contain handicrafts such as turning, carpentry, forging, watch and instrument making, glass-grinding, weaving, shipbuilding, and also stock breeding, agriculture with manuring, the cultivation of meadows and gardens, threshing, etc. In 1723 Duhre recieved a lease of the king's estate Ultuna, situated a few miles to the south of Uppsala, but the actual teaching took place in Uppsala. His educational institution was well-attended in the years 1725-30 and among the teachers was, for example, Anders Celsius. However, in 1731 he lost both the yearly grant and the lease of Ultuna. Duhre was an enthusiast and a pioneer of many modern ideas, especially concerning vocational training and agricultural rationalization, and his work probably contributed to the creation of a professorship in economics at Uppsala university in 1740.
