Heinz-Otto Peitgen (born April 30, 1945 in Bruch, Nümbrecht near Cologne) is a German mathematician. Year 1945 ( MCMXLV) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar Nümbrecht is a municipality in the Oberbergischer Kreis, in Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and research is the field of Mathematics. Peitgen is one of the most prominent researchers in the study of fractals. A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts each of which is (at least approximately a reduced-size copy of the whole"

Life
Peitgen studied mathematics, physics and economics from 1965 until 1971 in Bonn, later working for six years at the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University of Bonn under Christian Fenske, where he received his PhD in 1973. Mathematics is the body of Knowledge and Academic discipline that studies such concepts as Quantity, Structure, Space and Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion. Economics is the social science that studies the production distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

Year 1971 ( MCMLXXI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the 1971 Gregorian calendar. Bonn is the 19th largest city in Germany. Located about 20 kilometres south of Cologne on the river Rhine in the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia The University of Bonn ( German: Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn) is a public research university located in Bonn, Germany "PhD" redirects here for other uses see PhD (disambiguation. Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. His doctoral dissertation was Asymptotische Fixpunktsätze und Stabilität (en: Asymptotic fixed-point theorems and stability).
After receiving his habilitation in 1977, he first taught as private docent in Bonn before obtaining a professorship for mathematics at the University of Bremen. Habilitation is the highest academic qualification a person can achieve by their own pursuit in certain European and Asian countries Also 1977 (album by Ash. Year 1977 ( MCMLXXVII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays The University of Bremen ( German Universität Bremen) is a university of approximately 23500 people from 126 countries that are studying teaching researching and
In 1986 Peitgen and Peter Richter published their lavishly illustrated and very influential book The Beauty of Fractals, which was amongst the first books popularizing the concept of fractals to the general public. This book was followed up in 1988 by The Science of Fractal Images and in 1992 by a large and authoritative volume entitled Chaos and Fractals: New Frontiers of Science, written in collaboration with Hartmut Jürgens and Dietmar Saupe. Hartmut Jürgens is a German Mathematician, born in 1955 in Bremen Germany. Dietmar Saupe (born 1954 is a Fractal researcher and professor of Computer science, Department of Computer and Information Science University of Konstanz
Peitgen is director of the Centre for Complex Systems and Visualization (Centrum für Complexe Systeme und Visualisierung - CeVis) at the University of Bremen. His research work emphasises dynamical systems, numerical analysis, image analysis, and data analysis, as well as the use of computers in image-based medical diagnostics. Dynamical systems theory is an area of Applied mathematics used to describe the behavior of complex Dynamical systems usually by employing Differential Numerical analysis is the study of Algorithms for the problems of continuous mathematics (as distinguished from Discrete mathematics) Image analysis is the extraction of meaningful information from Images mainly from Digital images by means of Digital image processing techniques Exploratory data analysis (EDA is an approach to analyzing data for the purpose of formulating hypotheses worth testing complementing the tools of conventional
