Rolf Nevanlinna was a Finnish mathematician, born in 1895 as Rolf Herman Neovius, who took the surname Nevanlinna in 1906 when his father changed the family name. He came from a family with many mathematicians, and in 1913 he read Ernst Lindelöf's Introduction to Higher Analysis, from which time he was enthusiastically interested in mathematical analysis. He presented his thesis to Lindelöf, his doctoral advisor, in 1919. He made significant contributions to complex analysis and is the namesake of Nevanlinna theory for meromorphic functions. He supervised at least 28 doctoral theses.
