Jim,
a quick web search on "+Runge-kutta +born" presents
this firts link:
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Kutta.html
Apparently, Martin Kutta was indeed german. He was born in Breslau, as
it is said there. In that same page, Runge is itself a link to Runge's
short biography: Also a german guy born in Bremen.
Hence, you should try with a german accent. I'd say "Cut-a" and
"Roon-ga", but my I'm not sure about the english pronunciation of
them.
Regards,
Miguel A. Santos

Can someone please tell me how to pronounce the following:
Carle David Tolme' Runge
and
Martin Kutta
Are both names German? It is the Tolme' which is confusing -- looks
French or Spanish -- for that matter the other given names don't ring
German either. In any case is it "Run-ga" or Roon-ga" or what?
Likewise is it "Cut-a" or "Cute-a"?
I realize few Americans can pronounce German correctly, but maybe I can
come close. Tutor me please.
