Georg Landsberg

Georg Landsberg (January 30, 1865 – September 14, 1912) was a German mathematician, known for his work in the theory of algebraic functions and on the Riemann–Roch theorem.

[1] The Takagi–Landsberg curve, a fractal that is the graph of a nowhere-differentiable but uniformly continuous function, is named after Teiji Takagi and him.

He worked with ideas related to those of Weierstrass, Riemann and Heinrich Weber on theta functions and Gaussian sums.

His arithmetic setting of this result led eventually to the modern abstract theory of algebraic functions.

One of his most important works was Theorie der algebraischen Funktionen einer Variablen (Leipzig, 1902) which he wrote jointly with Kurt Hensel.
