Atle Selberg was a Norwegian mathematician, born in Langesund on 14 June 1917 and dying in Princeton, New Jersey on 6 August 2007, known for his work in analytic number theory and on discrete groups and automorphic forms. His father was a school teacher of mathematics, and it was the books in his father's library that turned the boy toward the subject at about the age of twelve. He considered the four exponentials conjecture in the early 1940s without ever stating it formally, and results in number theory are named after him.
