Wolfgang Rautenberg
Wolfgang Rautenberg (born February 27, 1936 in Potsdam ; † September 4, 2011 in Berlin ) was a German mathematician and logician .
Life
Rautenberg studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin , where he received his doctorate in 1963 and his habilitation in 1968. In 1973 Rautenberg left the GDR for West Germany . From 1974 he was professor and from 1976 full professor at the Free University of Berlin , Department of Mathematical Logic and Fundamentals of Mathematics .
His main research interests were model theory , non-classical logic , modal logic , self-reference and the logic of time .
From its foundation until 1973, Rautenberg was the head of the Mathematical Student Society in Berlin. As early as 1960, Rautenberg had also worked on the side for teacher training for years.
Between 1990 and 2002 Rautenberg was a sideline program developer for handhelds ( HP-49G ) from Hewlett-Packard .
Wolfgang Rautenberg died in Berlin at the beginning of September 2011 at the age of 75. His grave is in the state-owned cemetery Heerstraße in Berlin-Westend (grave location: 5-J-15).
