Christian Reinsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Reinsch (* 1934 in Chemnitz ) is a German mathematician who deals with numerical mathematics .

Reinsch studied physics at the Technical University of Munich from 1953, graduating in 1958, where he received his doctorate in physics under Heinz Maier-Leibnitz in 1961 ( measurement of the differential cross-section and the mean logarithmic energy loss when slow neutrons are scattered by water and ice ). In 1968/69 he was a research assistant at the Mathematical Institute of the Technical University of Munich and 1968/69 at the Case Western Reserve University . From 1969 to 1981 he was Academic Director at the Leibniz Computing Center of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . In 1972 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Munich (habilitation thesis: The QR transformation for Hermitian matrices ) and in the same year was a visiting scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory and in 1974 a visiting scientist at Stanford University . In 1977 he was a deputy chair in Karlsruhe and from 1981 an associate professor at the Technical University of Munich.

Among other things, he dealt with numerical linear algebra and interpolation using spline functions, for example in terrain modeling and in the automotive industry.
