Jörn Loviscach (2009)

Jörn Loviscach (* 1965 ) is a German mathematician. He is a professor for engineering mathematics and technical computer science at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences as well as the former deputy editor-in-chief of the computer magazine c't . From 2014 to 2016, Loviscach was the topic sponsor of the topic group "Innovations in learning and examination scenarios" at the University Forum Digitization initiated in 2014 by the Center for University Development, the University Rectors 'Conference and the Donors' Association , which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

research

Loviscach received his doctorate from Bielefeld University in 1993 , the title of the dissertation was Probabilistic models of chaotic maps . Furthermore, he published articles on this research area in the series of publications of the Research Center Bielefeld-Bochum-Stochastik ( A large class of functions with good properties under Anosov maps , 1993) and in the journals Journal of Statistical Physics (Volume 75, 1994, p. 189 -213) and Probability Theory and Related Fields (Volume 103, 1995, pp. 553-570).

From March 2005 to August 2008 he headed the research project ViSE: Virtual Sound Engineer at the Institute for Computer Science and Automation at the University of Bremen, which focused on the development of media aids for working with audio data. Loviscach is also concerned with the design of user interfaces in computer games (Advances in Computers, Volume 77, 2009, pp. 79–115).

Teaching

He gained fame among other things by making his filmed lectures available on the YouTube video portal and integrating these recordings into his lessons. The teaching method of inverted teaching is also one of his teaching concepts . Jörn Loviscach's channel now has more than 15 million hits, over 50,000 subscribers and around 2700 videos. The technical aids he uses include a tablet PC on which he can write and draw with a touch pen and from which the image is projected onto the wall by a projector. The videos on Youtube can also be sorted on Jörn Loviscach's own website and accessed and viewed using a search engine.

In September 2011 he gave a lecture on the topic of mathematics on YouTube at the conference of the e-learning specialist group in the Society for Computer Science (DeLFI 2011) on the use of YouTube in class : challenges, tools, experiences . On Udacity he teaches the online course “Making Math Matter: Differential Equations in Action”.

Since December 2012 Loviscach has been creating videos under the title “Journeys through space-time”, in which he shows the viewer the physics of general and special relativity theory from a mathematical point of view.
