Berit Stensønes (19 February 1956 – 5 June 2022)[1][2] was a mathematician and author from Norway that specialized in complex analysis and complex dynamics and recognized for her contributions to several complex variables.[3] She taught both science and mathematics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU),[4] and a professor emerita at the University of Michigan.[5]
Education
editIn 1985, Stensønes earned her Ph.D. at Princeton University. Her dissertation, Envelopes of Holomorphy, was supervised by John Erik Fornæss.[6]
Book
editLectures on Counterexamples in Several Complex Variables, written by Stensønes along with John Erik Fornaess, was published via AMS Chelsea Publishing, American Mathematical Society, 1987; it was reprinted in 2007.[7]
