The book positions Runge as a crucial liaison between theoretical science and industrial research, chronicling her long career at major firms like Osram, Telefunken, and AEG. It details her significant contributions to the development of color television, electron tubes, and the application of vector calculus to electrical engineering. The biography also illuminates the immense challenges she faced as a woman navigating the male-dominated scientific and industrial landscapes of the Weimar, Nazi, and post-war eras. -- Iris Runge (1888-1966) was a mathematician and physicist who played a crucial, though often overlooked, role in 20th-century industrial research. The daughter of the famous mathematician Carl Runge, she carved out a remarkable career as one of the very few women in her field. For decades, she worked at the heart of German technological innovation at major companies like Osram and Telefunken. Her expertise in applying advanced mathematics to practical problems was instrumental in the development of key technologies, including color television and early semiconductors. Her life and career provide a fascinating window into the history of industrial R&D and the challenges faced by women in science.…
