Iris Runge: A Life at the Crossroads of Mathematics, Science and Industry - Couverture rigide
Livre 12 sur 29: Science Networks. Historical Studies
Synopsis
This book concerns the origins of mathematical problem solving at the internationally active Osram and Telefunken Corporations during the golden years of broadcasting and electron tube research. The woman scientist Iris Runge, who received an interdisciplinary education at the University of Göttingen, was long employed as the sole mathematical authority at these companies in Berlin. It will be shown how mathematical connections were made between statistics and quality control, and between physical-chemical models and the actual problems of mass production. The organization of industrial laboratories, the relationship between theoretical and experimental work, and the role of mathematicians in these settings will also be explained. By investigating the social, economic, and political conditions that unfolded from the time of the German Empire until the end of the Second World War, the book hopes to build a bridge between specialized fields mathematics and engineering and the general culture of a particular era. It hopes, furthermore, to build a bridge between the history of science and industry, on the one hand, and the fields of Gender and Women s Studies on the other. Finally, by examining the life and work of numerous industrial researchers, insight will be offered into the conditions that enabled a woman to achieve a prominent professional position during a time when women were typically excluded from the scientific workforce.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Hardcover, xxii + 442pp + 16 pages of glossy b&w photos, NOT ex-library. Weight 924g. Book is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show gentle handling wear, small indentations to edges. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This work is a detailed scientific and intellectual biography of Iris Runge, a pioneering German applied mathematician and physicist. The book positions Runge as a crucial liaison between theoretical science and industrial research, chronicling her long career at major firms like Osram, Telefunken, and AEG. It details her significant contributions to the development of color television, electron tubes, and the application of vector calculus to electrical engineering. The biography also illuminates the immense challenges she faced as a woman navigating the male-dominated scientific and industrial landscapes of the Weimar, Nazi, and post-war eras. -- Iris Runge (1888-1966) was a mathematician and physicist who played a crucial, though often overlooked, role in 20th-century industrial research. The daughter of the famous mathematician Carl Runge, she carved out a remarkable career as one of the very few women in her field. For decades, she worked at the heart of German technological innovation at major companies like Osram and Telefunken. Her expertise in applying advanced mathematics to practical problems was instrumental in the development of key technologies, including color television and early semiconductors. Her life and career provide a fascinating window into the history of industrial R&D and the challenges faced by women in science. N° de réf. du vendeur 007573
