Bernhard Alois Kutzler (born June 6, 1961 in Linz ) is an Austrian mathematician , consciousness researcher and non-fiction author .

mathematician

While studying mathematics at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Kutzler initially worked as a software developer for the Austrian steel company VÖEST . From 1982 he worked as a study assistant with Bruno Buchberger and from 1983 also as a lecturer at the university, where he obtained the academic degree of Diplom-Ingenieur in 1984 . Subsequently, he was contract assistant at the Research Institute for Symbolic Computing (RISC-Linz) founded by Buchberger, finished his studies in 1989 and received his doctorate in technical sciences.

Kutzler was responsible for the organization of the World Conference on Computer Algebra 1984 at the University of Linz. He then assisted Buchberger in relocating the institute to Hagenberg Castle and in setting up the Hagenberg software park .

His research interest shifted from the topic of his dissertation, automatic proofs , to the use of computer algebra systems for teaching and learning mathematics. In 1990 he founded Soft Warehouse Europe GmbH & Co. KG , based in the Hagenberg software park. He continued to work as a lecturer at the university. Soft Warehouse Europe acted as the European representative of the Honolulu- based company Soft Warehouse Inc. , which had developed the Derive computer algebra system as a successor product to muMATH . Kutzler was responsible for the localization of Derive in European languages ​​and the development of the European market. In 1995 he also founded the company bk teachware Lehrmittel GmbH & Co. KG to sell Derive and other mathematical teaching aids on the German-speaking market. Kutzler used both companies to make his ideas about changing mathematics teaching known internationally. He is the author of the Derive manual, wrote numerous publications on the use of computer algebra systems in teaching and published the subject-specific "bk teachware series".

Kutzler founded the so-called scaffolding method , which describes the sensible use of technology in teaching.

From 1995 to 2002 he was a consultant for Texas Instruments and supported the market launch of the first computer algebra calculator TI-92 in Europe. From 2006 to 2010, Kutzler was a consultant for Texas Instruments on the market launch of TI-Nspire. In 2010 he stopped working in this area.
