Eiesland immigrated to the USA in 1888 after completing his secondary education in Christiansand. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of South Dakota in 1891. He was a mathematics professor from 1895 to 1903 at Thiel College in Pennsylvania. On a leave of absence, he studied mathematics as a Johns Hopkins Scholar (1897–1898) at Johns Hopkins University,{{cn|date=February 2018}} where he received his Ph.D. in 1898.[1] From 1903 to 1907 he was a mathematics instructor at the United States Naval Academy.{{cn|date=February 2018}} In 1907 he became a professor of mathematics at West Virginia University and the chair of the mathematics department from 1907 to 1938, when he retired as professor emeritus.[2] Eiesland was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences in 1903.[3] He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1924 in Toronto.
