Jean Kuntzmann

Jean Kuntzmann (* 1912, † December 19, 1992 in Grenoble ) was a French Applied mathematicians and computer scientists. He was Professor and Head of Department of Applied Mathematics at the Faculté des Sciences in Grenoble, where in 1951 he einrichtete the first lab there for Numerical Mathematics, which later among other things, computer science emerged department of the University of Grenoble.

In 1929 he won the first prize in mathematics in the national entrance examinations for the Grande Ecoles ( Concours Général ) and then studied mathematics at the Ecole Normale Superieure, with the conclusion ( Agrégation ) 1934. After a stay in Germany, he became in 1940 a doctorate in Georges Valiron ( Contribution à l' étude of systèmes multiforme ). In 1939 he was drafted and was until 1945 a prisoner of war. During this time he was Maître de conférences 1942 in Grenoble, where he was after the war, from 1945 professor. Grenoble was primarily a university for the training of engineers, for which he developed a mathematics curriculum. Director of the Polytechnic was then Felix Esclangon. Close cooperation with the industry (and the French national aerospace research ) were the basis for the development of the Laboratory of Computational Mathematics and computer science institutes in Grenoble. Later it emerged including the Institut d' informatique et de Mathématiques appliquées Grenoble ( IMAG ). Kuntzmann 1958 was also the founder of the ENSIMAG ( École nationale supérieure d' informatique et de Mathématiques appliquées ) in Grenoble.
