Gunter Weiss

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunter Weiß (born January 3, 1946 in Sankt Veit an der Glan ) is an Austrian mathematician .

Life

From 1963 to 1969, Weiß studied mathematics / descriptive geometry teaching at the University of Vienna , where he was also a study assistant from 1966. From 1969 to 1982 Weiß worked as an assistant at the Institute for Geometry at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in geometry in 1973. He completed his habilitation in the same subject in 1982 and then became a university lecturer in Vienna.

From 1995 until his retirement, Weiss was Professor of Geometry / Differential Geometry at the TU Dresden , where he was Vice Dean of the Mathematics Department and Vice President of the International Society for Geometry and Graphics (ISGG).
