Hans-Joachim Bungartz worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Hans-Joachim Bungartz as German mathematician, computer scientist and university teacher.
Hans-Joachim Bungartz was born at Lahr/Schwarzwald in 1963. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Technical University of Munich.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at Technical University of Munich.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
That the work was done from Germany matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Hans-Joachim Bungartz is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
