'''Hans Jörg Stetter''' (born 8 April 1930, Munich) is a German mathematician, specializing in [[numerical analysis]].
Stetter studied at the [[University of Munich]] and then at the [[Technical University of Munich]]. For one academic year, he was an undergraduate exchange student in [[Fort Collins]] at the [[Colorado State University|Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, ''i.e.'' Colorado A&M]] (renamed, in 1957, Colorado State University), where he participated in the [[Putnam competition]] and was awarded an honorable mention. After receiving a master's degree as a qualification for teaching in secondary school, he studied the numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) with applications to fluid dynamics and received from the Technical University of Munich his [[Promotion (Germany)|promotion]] (Ph.D.) under Robert Sauer with dissertation ''Beiträge zum Wechselwirkungsproblem in linearisierter Überschallströmung'' (Contributions to the interaction problem in linearized supersonic flow).<ref></ref> Stetter became in 1965 a professor ordinarius at the [[Technical University of Vienna]] (''Technische Hochschule Wien'') (which was renamed in 1975 the ''Technische Universität Wien'').
Later he turned to the numerical analysis of ordinar differential equations (ODEs) and specialized in error analysis and asymptotic developments, among other ODE topics. Based upon ideas published by the physicist [[Lewis Fry Richardson]] and by the astronomer [[Pedro E. Zadunaisky]], Stetter developed in the 1970s an iterative method, now called the defect correction method, for error estimation in ODEs. He also dealt with polynomial algebra at the interface between numerical analysis and computer algebra.
In 1974 Stetter was an Invited Speaker at the [[International Congress of Mathematicians|ICM]] in Vancouver.<ref></ref> In 1984 he was elected a member of the [[Academy of Sciences Leopoldina]].<ref>[http://ift.tt/2EFra9f Hans J. Stetter, Leopoldina]</ref>
