Helmut Salzmann and his legacy

  • Rainer Löwen
From the journal Advances in Geometry

Abstract

We describe the development of the mathematics of Helmut R. Salzmann (3. 11. 1930 – 8. 3. 2022) and the main difficulties he was facing, documenting his lifelong productivity and his far reaching influence. We include a comprehensive bibliography of his work.
