Wilhelm Kutta was a German engineer who is best known for his work on the numerical solution of differential equations, the Runge-Kutta method. He was born in Pitschen in Upper Silesia (now Byczyna, Poland) on 3 November 1867 and died in Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany on 25 December 1944. His 1901 paper gave the family of methods now taught in every numerical analysis course and also contributed to the theory of lift in aerodynamics. He is the second name in the Runge-Kutta methods.
