Angela Kunoth (born 22 June 1963) is a German mathematician specializing in the
numerical analysis of
partial differential equation
In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which imposes relations between the various partial derivatives of a Multivariable calculus, multivariable function.
The function is often thought of as an "unknown" to be sol ...

University of Cologne, and the editor-in-chief of ''
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis''.
