- Full version of the Inkspot obituary:
Larry Nichols shared the news of the death of his close friend, Dr. Henry Wente (1936-2020). “A distinguished mathematician and UniLu alumnus, Henry died on January 20, 2020 in Toledo, Ohio. A member of UniLu from the mid 1950s until the early 1970s, he was part of a group of young UniLu people who spent many weekends together at the Halfmans’ cabin on Lake Winnipesaukee. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematics at Harvard by successfully proving a minimal-surface theorem which had baffled other mathematicians for decades. In 1971 he became a tenured professor of mathematics at the University of Toledo where he continued to make important mathematical discoveries, including the aptly named ‘Wente Torus.’ Until his retirement, he was an invited summer scholar at the Max Plank Institute of Mathematics in Bonn, and in 2013 he was made an inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematical Association. An accomplished flute player, he loved to play chess, and he was a very close friend of ours. He was truly a gentleman and a scholar.”
