Education and career

Bunse-Gerstner earned her Ph.D. from Bielefeld University in 1978. Her dissertation, Der HR-Algorithmus zur numerischen Bestimmung der Eigenwerte einer Matrix, was jointly supervised by Ludwig Elsner and Hans Johnen. [2]

Until 2017, Bunse-Gerstner was head of the Numerics group in the Zentrum für Technomathematik (ZeTeM) at the University of Bremen. [3]

Book

Bunse-Gerstner is the author of a German-language textbook on numerical linear algebra, Numerische lineare Algebra (with Wolfgang Bunse, Teubner Mathematical Textbooks, 1985). [4]

Recognition

In 2017, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics listed Bunse-Gerstner as a Fellow, "for contributions in numerical linear algebra, control theory, and model reduction". [5]

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is a professional society dedicated to applied mathematics, computational science, and data science through research, publications, and community. SIAM is the world's largest scientific society devoted to applied mathematics, and roughly two-thirds of its membership resides within the United States. Founded in 1951, the organization began holding annual national meetings in 1954, and now hosts conferences, publishes books and scholarly journals, and engages in advocacy in issues of interest to its membership. Members include engineers, scientists, and mathematicians, both those employed in academia and those working in industry. The society supports educational institutions promoting applied mathematics.

Validated numerics, or rigorous computation, verified computation, reliable computation, numerical verification is numerics including mathematically strict error evaluation, and it is one field of numerical analysis. For computation, interval arithmetic is used, and all results are represented by intervals. Validated numerics were used by Warwick Tucker in order to solve the 14th of Smale's problems, and today it is recognized as a powerful tool for the study of dynamical systems.
