Reinhold Remmert

Reinhold Remmert (1930 to 2016) was a German mathematician born in Osnabrück in Lower Saxony. He studied mathematics, mathematical logic and physics at Münster, and together with Hans Grauert he established and developed the theory of complex-analytic spaces. Until his retirement in 1995 he was professor of complex analysis at Münster. The Remmert-Stein theorem bears his name. He wrote two books, one on number theory and one on complex analysis, which are valued for the large amount of historical information and the references to important papers that they contain; the best known English titles are Theory of Complex Functions, published in 1991, and Classical Topics in Complex Function Theory, published in 1998.
