Carl Runge worked on a procedure for the numerical solution of algebraic equations and later studied the wavelengths of the spectral lines of elements. He was born in Bremen on 30 August 1856, the third child of Julius Runge and Fanny Tolmé, enrolled at the University of Munich in 1876 to study literature and philosophy before turning to mathematics, and died in Göttingen on 3 January 1927. His name is found in the Runge-Kutta methods for differential equations and in Runge's phenomenon about polynomial interpolation.
