Tinne Hoff Kjeldsen is a Danish math historian and math teacher. She is a professor at Roskilde University and Copenhagen University .

She received her doctorate in 1999 at the University of Roskilde with Anders Hede Madsen (En kontekstualiseret matematikhistorisk analyze af ikke-lineær programmering: udviklingshistorie og multiple opdagelse).

She dealt with the history of mathematical optimization ( linear programming and nonlinear programming , operations research ) as well as with the history of convex geometry ( Hermann Minkowski in the context of the geometry of numbers). In addition, she deals with the history of mathematics access to mathematics education, mathematical modeling and the philosophy of mathematics.

In 2012 she became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

In 2010 she was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( History of convexity and mathematical programming: connections and relationships in two episodes of research in pure and applied mathematics of the 20th century ).
