Rolf Georg Schneider (born 17 March 1940, Hagen, Germany)[1] is a mathematician. Schneider is a professor emeritus at the University of Freiburg. His main research interests are convex geometry and stochastic geometry.
Career
Schneider completed his PhD 1967 with Ruth Moufang at Goethe University Frankfurt with a thesis titled (Elliptisch gekrümmte Hyperflächen in der affinen Differentialgeometrie im Großen). In 1969, he got his Habilitation in Bochum. In 1970, he was appointed as a full professor at Technische Universität Berlin and in 1974 at the University of Freiburg.
He became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society[2] in 2015 and received an honorary doctorate of the University of Salzburg in 2004.[3][4]
Research
Rolf Schneider is known for his solution of Shephard's problem,[5] his books on stochastic and integral geometry in long-standing collaboration with Wolfgang Weil,[6][7][8] and his comprehensive monography on the Brunn–Minkowski theory.[9][10]
