	Harvard Gazette: Faculty of Arts and Sciences - Memorial Minute
		Lars Valerian Ahlfors was born under tragic circumstances in Helsinki on April 18, 1907: his mother died in childbirth.
		Ahlfors came to Harvard as a junior faculty member in 1935 and stayed until 1938, when he was offered and accepted a professorship at the University of Helsinki.
		Ahlfors was also a man of action and had an instinct for achieving his ends in the simplest way, be it in mathematics or in real life.

	Ahlfors
		Lars Ahlfors' father was professor of mechanical engineering at the Polytechnic Institute in Helsingfors.
		In 1938 Ahlfors was offered a chair in mathematics at the University of Helsinki and, being rather homesick, he accepted this rather than remain permanently at Harvard.
		Ahlfors' family was evacuated to Sweden during the war and so, when he was offered a chair in Zurich in 1944 it seemed a good chance to be reunited with his family.

		A conference celebrating the life and work of Lars Ahlfors will be held at Stanford University, September 19-21,1997.
		Ahlfors, who would have been 90 this year, died late last fall.
		The goal of this conference is to explore various lines that are currently active areas of research where he made major - and often seminal - contributions.

	Read This: Codebreakers
		For example, how his doctoral degree was delayed a year (part of the delay involved the mathematics of Lars Ahlfors, part of the delay involved alligator hunting); how, as a professor, he considered students' clumsy solutions to be a personal insult.
		In fact, his great friendship with Lars Ahlfors was ended because Ahlfors gave a lecture in which he mentioned work that he had done with Beurling.
		Ahlfors made sure to state how much of a role Beurling had played in the work.

		For over half a century the theory of functions of a complex variable was guided by the thought and work of Professor (Emeritus) Lars Ahlfors.
		His achievements include the proof of the Denjoy conjecture, the geometric derivation of the Nevanlinna theory, an important generalization of the Schwarz lemma, the development (with Beurling) of the method of extremal length, and numerous decisive results in the theories of Riemann surfaces, quasi-conformal mappings and Teichmuller spaces.
		Ahlfors celebrated finiteness theorem for Kleinian groups, and his work on the limit set, revitalized an important area of research.

	Visualisation and dynamical systems
		I remember Lars Ahlfors, in 1982, telling me that in his youth his adviser Ernst Lindelöf made him read the memoirs of Fatou and Julia on the iteration of rational functions.
		These memoirs, he told me, struck him at the time as “the pits of complex analysis." He said that he only understood what they were about when seeing the pictures Mandelbrot and I were showing.
		If even Ahlfors, the creator of some of the principal tools in the field, couldn't see what the authors were getting at, what of lesser mortals?

		Lars Ahlfors's Lectures on Quasiconformal Mappings, based on a course he gave at Harvard University in the spring term of 1964, was first published in 1966 and was soon recognized as the classic it was shortly destined to become.
		These lectures develop the theory of quasiconformal mappings from scratch, give a self-contained treatment of the Beltrami equation, and cover the basic properties of Teichmuller spaces, including the Bers embedding and the Teichmuller curve.
		It is remarkable how Ahlfors goes straight to the heart of the matter, presenting major results with a minimum set of prerequisites.
