Albert Pfluger
Albert Pfluger (13 October 1907, Oensingen – 14 September 1993, Zürich) was a Swiss mathematician, specializing in complex function theory. Biography Pfluger, the son of a farmer, attended secondary school in Stans. He then studied mathematics at ETH Zürich, where in 1935 he received his promotion (Ph.D) under George Pólya with thesis ''Über eine Interpretation gewisser Konvergenz- und Fortsetzungseigenschaften Dirichlet’scher Reihen''.

He received his habilitation qualification in 1938 and in 1939 became a professor extraordinarius for applied mathematics and mathematical physics at the University of Fribourg. At ETH Zürich he became a professor extraordinarius in 1940 and in 1943 a professor ordinarius in the professorial chair vacated by George Pólya in 1940.

Quasiconformal Mapping
In mathematical complex analysis, a quasiconformal mapping, introduced by and named by , is a homeomorphism between plane domains which to first order takes small circles to small ellipses of bounded eccentricity. Intuitively, let ''f'' : ''D'' → ''D''′ be an orientation-preserving homeomorphism between open sets in the plane. If ''f'' is continuously differentiable, then it is ''K''-quasiconformal if the derivative of ''f'' at every point maps circles to ellipses with eccentricity bounded by ''K''. Definition Suppose ''f'' : ''D'' → ''D''′ where ''D'' and ''D''′ are two domains in C. There are a variety of equivalent definitions, depending on the required smoothness of ''f''. If ''f'' is assumed to have continuous partial derivatives, then ''f'' is quasiconformal provided it satisfies the Beltrami equation for some complex valued Lebesgue measurable μ satisfying sup , μ, 0. Then ''f'' satisfies () precisely when it is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Heinz Rutishauser
Heinz Rutishauser (30 January 1918 – 10 November 1970) was a Swiss mathematician and a pioneer of modern numerical mathematics and computer science. Life Rutishauser's father died when he was 13 years old and his mother died three years later, so together with his younger brother and sister he went to live in their uncle's home. From 1936, Rutishauser studied mathematics at the ETH Zürich where he graduated in 1942. From 1942 to 1945, he was assistant of Walter Saxer at the ETH, and from 1945 to 1948, a mathematics teacher in Glarisegg and Trogen. In 1948, he received his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from ETH with a well-received thesis on complex analysis. From 1948 to 1949, Rutishauser was in the United States at the Universities of Harvard and Princeton to study the state of the art in computing. From 1949 to 1955, he was a research associate at the Institute for Applied Mathematics at ETH Zürich recently founded by Eduard Stiefel, where he worked together with Ambros S ...

Riemann Surface
In mathematics, particularly in complex analysis, a Riemann surface is a connected one-dimensional complex manifold. These surfaces were first studied by and are named after Bernhard Riemann. Riemann surfaces can be thought of as deformed versions of the complex plane: locally near every point they look like patches of the complex plane, but the global topology can be quite different. For example, they can look like a sphere or a torus or several sheets glued together. The main interest in Riemann surfaces is that holomorphic functions may be defined between them. Riemann surfaces are nowadays considered the natural setting for studying the global behavior of these functions, especially multi-valued functions such as the square root and other algebraic functions, or the logarithm. Every Riemann surface is a two-dimensional real analytic manifold (i.e., a surface), but it contains more structure (specifically a complex structure) which is needed for the unambiguous definitio ...
