Gert Schubring (* 1944 ) is a German math historian and math didactician.

Schubring received his doctorate in 1977 under Michael Otte (* 1938) at Bielefeld University ( The genetic principle in mathematics didactics ). He is a private lecturer at Bielefeld University.

He dealt in particular with the history of rigor in analysis and the history of school teaching in mathematics in the 19th century, as well as with the so-called genetic method in mathematics teaching (orientation to the history of mathematics). In detail he published about Johann Friedrich Schultz , Augustin-Louis Cauchy , Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet , Karl Weierstraß , Bernhard Bolzano , Hermann Graßmann , Felix Klein and Caspar Wessel .
