Abstract: Abstract The title “Fred Gehring and Finnish mathematics” for this lecture was proposed to me by the organizers of this Conference. The topic is unusual, but unusually important, too, is the interplay between Fred Gehring and Finnish mathematics. By chance, it so happened that Fred’s entry onto the Finnish mathematical scene enjoyed perfect timing, with the result that the impacts in both directions, Fred’s on Finnish mathematics and that of Finnish mathematics on Fred, were exceptionally strong. In order to tell the whole story, which could also be entitled “How Fred became a quasi-person,” let me go back all the way to the time when serious mathematical research began in Finland.
