Helmar Frank

Helmar Gunter Frank (19 February 1933, Waiblingen – 15 December 2013, Paderborn) was a German mathematician and pedagogist.

[citation needed] He established a method to measure intelligence on an absolute and homogeneous scale rather than by comparison between individuals.

In 1985 he founded, together with Reinhard Selten, Ivo Lapenna, Fabrizio Pennacchietti, Humphrey Tonkin, and others, the Akademio Internacia de la Sciencoj San Marino (AIS), an international academy of sciences.

Frank taught as a guest or honorary professor at the Technische Universität Berlin and the universities of Guangzhou, Nitra, Prague, Rosario, and Sibiu.

He was the founder and long-time editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Grundlagenstudien aus Kybernetik und Geisteswissenschaft.
