Product Description

Rolf Nevanlinna (1895-1980) war ein weltberühmter Mathematiker, eine umstrittene politische Gestalt, eine Autorität auf dem Gebiet der Kultur und eine charismatische Persönlichkeit. In allen Phasen seines Lebens waren die Mathematik und die Musik seine Leitsterne. „Man muss sein Leben der Arbeit widmen und nach den erhabenen Welten streben" war sein Motto. Durch die Entwicklung der später nach ihm benannten Nevanlinna-Theorie erlangte er in den 1920er Jahren Weltruf. Er wurde zum Professor der Universität Zürich berufen und zum Präsidenten der Internationalen Mathematischen Union gewählt. Er blieb bis zu seinem Lebensende eine einflussreiche Kulturpersönlichkeit und zeichnete sich insbesondere als Sibelius-Spezialist aus. - Professor Olli Lehto (Helsinki), der Autor dieser umfassenden Biographie, kannte Rolf Nevanlinna über viele Jahrzehnte, zunächst als Student, dann als Assistent und schließlich als Kollege. Das Buch gibt tiefgehende Einblicke in das Leben eines genialen Mathematikers und in die wechselvolle Geschichte Finnlands.

Product Description
The articles in this volume are for the most part research articles related mainly to the theory of quasiconformal and quasiregular mappings, Riemann surfaces and potential theory. They have resulted from talks delivered at the 13th Nevanlinna Colloquium, which was also a celebration of the 80th birthday of Lars V. Ahlfors: hence many articles in this volume reflect his mathematical interests. ... Read more

Granit graduated in 1927 from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Helsinki, Finland. When Finland became the target of a massive Soviet attack in 1940 during the Winter War (1939 - 1940), Granit sought refuge - and peaceful surroundings for his studies and research work - in the neighbouring capital of Sweden, Stockholm, at the age of 40. In the same year, 1940, Granit also received Swedish citizenship, which made it possible for him to go on with...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=644063 ... Read more

Excerpt: Lars Valerian Ahlfors (18 April 1907 - 11 October 1996) was a Finnish-born mathematician, remembered for his work in the field of Riemann surfaces and his text on complex analysis. Ahlfors was born in Helsinki, Finland. His mother, Sievä Helander, died at his birth. His father, Axel Ahlfors, was a Professor of Engineering at the Helsinki University of Technology. The Ahlfors family was Swedish speaking, so he first attended a private school where all classes were taught in Swedish. Ahlfors studied at University of Helsinki from 1924, graduating in 1928 having studied under Ernst Lindelöf and Rolf Nevanlinna. He assisted Nevanlinna in 1929 with his work on Denjoy's conjecture on the number of asymptotic values of an entire function. He completed his doctorate from the University of Helsinki in 1930. Ahlfors worked as an associate professor at the University of Helsinki from 1933 to 1936. In 1936 he was one of the first two people to be awarded the Fields Medal. In 1935 Ahlfors visited Harvard University. He returned to Finland in 1938 to take up a professorship at the University of Helsinki. The outbreak of war led to problems although Ahlfors was unfit for military service. He was offered a post at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zurich in 1944 and finally managed to travel there in March 1945. He did not enjoy his time in Switzerland and jumped at a chance to leave, returning to work at Harvard where he remained until he retir...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=61636 ... Read more

Excerpt: Matias Laine (born April 25, 1990 in Joensuu) is a Finnish racing driver. Laine began his motorsport career in karting in 2003, finishing as runner-up in the Finnish Raket Cup Championship. In 2005 he won the Finnish Championship for the ICA Junior class. Laine began his formula racing career in the 2008 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup season with CR Scuderia. He finished ninth in the championship with 50 points. He also completed two races of 2008 Portugal Winter Series FR2.0 at Estoril. Laine finished third and thirteenth in those races. The following season, Laine competed in both the Formula Renault 2.0 UK and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championships for CRS Racing and Motopark Academy respectively. He finished fourteenth in the UK standings, scoring points in each of the twelve races, before injury curtailed his season at Snetterton. In the Eurocup, he took 22nd place in the championship with six points that were earned in the second race at Silverstone Circuit. 2010 will see Laine move to the Formula Three Euroseries, competing for Motopark Academy. He will join fellow Formula Renault graduates António Félix da Costa and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs at the team. He earned his first point finishing ninth at Hockenheim round because Esteban Gutiérrez who finished sixth was guest driver and was ineligible to scoring points.
