Karl Seebach

Karl Seebach ( born June 28, 1912 in Munich, † July 18, 2007 ) was a German mathematician and educationalist.

Life

Seebach studied mathematics and physics at the Ludwig- Maximilians- University of Munich and received his PhD in 1934 with Heinrich Tietze and Arnold Sommerfeld. The title of his dissertation is about the extension of the domain of differentiable functions. In 1941 he completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Munich, where he worked as an assistant before.

After the war he was first a teacher at the Maria -Theresia -Gymnasium Munich, where he worked in teacher education also at the local study seminar. From 1967 he was a lecturer at the Pedagogical University in Pasing and was appointed to the newly created Department of Mathematics Education at the Ludwig- Maximilians- University of Munich in 1977. Here, he was even after his retirement in the fall of 1980.

From 1972 to 1981 Seebach was chairman of MNU. In addition, he has authored numerous textbooks for the teaching of mathematics and participated in the design of the Federal National Mathematics Competition.
