Wolfgang Hackbusch

Wolfgang Hackbusch (born 24 October 1948 in Westerstede, Lower Saxony) is a German mathematician, known for his pioneering research in multigrid methods and later hierarchical matrices, a concept generalizing the fast multipole method. He was a professor at the University of Kiel and is currently one of the directors of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig.

gollark: I'm basically just staying at home anyway since the whole COVID-19 thing means I don't have school or anything, and there isn't very much interesting non-inside stuff to do.
gollark: Hi. Mostly just doing random-internet-browsing now.
gollark: Well, this is bizarre, it's only slow if I access it in the browser and not through curl.
gollark: Caddy.
gollark: It's weirdly high-latency for some reason, but it's up.
