From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rolf Herman Nevanlinna (October 22, 1895, Joensuu, Eastern Finland - May 28, 1980, Helsinki) is perhaps the most famous Finnish mathematician. He was particularly appreciated for his work in theory of functions (i.e., complex analysis). Apart from mathematics, Nevanlinna took great interest in culture and politics. His opinions in politics were sometimes somewhat controversial, but his talents as an amateur musician were widely appreciated. He was an active member of the Finnish ultra-nationalist party Patriotic People's Movement and also a member of the Finnish pro-German movement.
