Jürgen Beetz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen Beetz (* 1940 in Hamburg ) is a German systems analyst and science author.

Life

Jürgen Beetz, a student at the Johanneum in Hamburg and the Wöhlerschule in Frankfurt, studied electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in engineering. At IBM Germany he worked as a systems analyst and lecturer from 1968–1995, including at the SCIC ( Scientific & Cross Industry Center ) in Amsterdam and at the ESRI ( European Systems Research Institute ) in Geneva.

Since 2010, he has published several books as a science writer on thinking, philosophical issues, mathematics, physics and the principle of feedback . In three of these books he used pairs of mascots to moderate his subjects; so Rudi Radlos and Eddi Einstein in the two Höhlenmenschen volumes. In his book A otign f eines D eutsch he goes into the political-linguistic field, only to return to technology with his last book on digitization.

Beetz is married and lives in Berlin, since 2003 also temporarily on Mallorca. He is a descendant of the physicist Wilhelm von Beetz .
