Finnish mathematician (1873–1949)
Karl F. Sundman. Karl Frithiof Sundman (28 October 1873, inKaskinen – 28 September 1949, inHelsinki ) was aFinnish mathematician [ 1] who used analytic methods to prove the existence of a convergentinfinite series solution to thethree-body problem in two papers published in 1907[ 2] and 1909.[ 3] His results gained fame when they were reproduced inActa Mathematica in 1912.[ 4] He also published a paper onregularization methods inmechanics in 1912.
Awards, recognition[ edit ] Sundman was awarded the Pontécoulant prize by theFrench Academy of Science in 1913 for his work on the 3-body problem.[ 1] In 1908 Sundman was elected member of theFinnish Society of Sciences and Letters [ 5] and in 1947 foreign member of theRoyal Swedish Academy of Sciences .[ 6] The craterSundman on theMoon is named after him, as is the asteroid1424 Sundmania .
