Helmut Prodinger's Home Page

European website: http://www.math.tugraz.at/~prodinger/
The old address should also work: http://finanz.math.tu-graz.ac.at/~prodinger/
Note the current address of this webpage: https://www.helmut-prodinger.at
However, I lost contact to the website administrators, and plans are to make the website in Graz the main website.

The most striking aspect of his mathematical practice is his extraordinary skill at calculations. In fact, he tried to solve mathematical problems to a large extent by means of a calculative, algebraic approach.
