This biography of the Finnish American mathematician Lars Ahlfors (1907– 1996) is a slightly modified translation of my Finnish biography, which was published in the spring of 2013. That book was not intended only for members of the scientific community, but for any reader with an interest in science or scientists. Mathematics could not be ignored, as it was the leading theme of Lars Ahlfors’ life. But since the book was not aimed at mathematicians only, I refrained from going into detail and restricted my description to Ahlfors’ impact on the development of complex analysis in the twentieth century. The book was intended to prevent Lars Ahlfors from slipping into oblivion in Finland. It was surprisingly well received and has gone into a second edition. The majority of readers of the English edition are probably non-Finnish mathematicians. For that reason I have removed passages of interest primarily to Finns, while adding a bit more to the portion of mathematics and to the Finnish history relating to Ahlfors’ life. 0877132人目の素数さん2024/05/02(木) 09:10:59.08ID:3btJutAb 出たら買って「複素解析」の隣に並べておきたい 0878132人目の素数さん2024/05/02(木) 11:41:57.82ID:3btJutAb Complex Analysisの2nd editionも 0879132人目の素数さん2024/05/03(金) 09:23:09.38ID:n+Pe09Cr Conformal invariantsも 0880132人目の素数さん2024/05/04(土) 10:26:02.72ID:ztd3iZ8v 英訳も買おう 0881132人目の素数さん2024/05/04(土) 11:51:01.74ID:ztd3iZ8v Lars Ahlfors: At the Summit of Mathematics
