Jens Carsten Jantzen is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Jens Carsten Jantzen as German mathematician.
Jens Carsten Jantzen was born in 1948. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at University of Bonn.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of Bonn, Aarhus University and University of Hamburg.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
That the work was done from Germany matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
