Frederik Pieter Agterberg[2] (born 15 November 1936) is a Dutch-born Canadian Mathematical Geologist who served at the Geological Survey of Canada. He attended Utrecht University in The Netherlands from 1954 to 1961. He was instrumental in establishing International Association for Mathematical Geosciences. He received William Christian Krumbein Medal in 1978[3] from International Association for Mathematical Geosciences. In 1981 Agterberg became a correspondent of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[4] In 2004, he was named IAMG Distinguished Lecturer. He was the president of International Association for Mathematical Geosciences during 2004-2008.
