Mathematical Treasure: Carl Runge’s Graphical Methods

Carl David Tolmé Runge (1856–1927) was a German mathematician who studied with many of the big names of the 19th century and then turned to spectroscopy. He also did extensive work in physics. In mathematics, he is known for the Runge-Kutta method of numerical analysis, an approximation method for the solution of differential equations. In 1912, Runge gave a lecture at Columbia University on graphical methods. This lecture was published as a monograph.
