Rolf Sulanke
Rolf Sulanke (* 1930 in Berlin-Charlottenburg ) is a German mathematician who deals with geometry .
Sulanke attended the Kaiserin-Auguste-Gymnasium in Charlottenburg and after graduating from high school in 1949 studied chemistry and then mathematics at the Humboldt University in Berlin . After graduating in 1955, he was a research assistant at Humboldt University. In 1960 he did his doctorate under Hans Reichardt (integral geometry of plane curve networks) and became a lecturer there in 1966 after his habilitation in 1964. In 1975 he became a professor of geometry (1992 for differential geometry ). In 1995 he retired.
Sulanke dealt with differential and integral geometry, but also with Möbius geometries, projective geometry , Cayley-Klein geometries.
Thomas Friedrich is one of his doctoral students .
