Alfred Goldie
Alfred William Goldie (born December 10, 1920 in Coseley , Staffordshire , † October 8, 2005 ) was a British mathematician who studied algebra ( ring theory ).
Goldie studied on a scholarship at St. John's College of Cambridge University , where he Tripos completed exams in 1941 for Best. During World War II he worked on using CP Snow in ballistics , but at the same time turned to algebra under the influence of Philip Hall . From 1946 he was Assistant Lecturer at the University of Nottingham from 1948 Lecturer at the University of Newcastle and from 1963 until his retirement in 1986 Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds .
From the 1950s he dealt with ring theory, first with FF Bonsall in functional analysis, then with non-commutative rings in algebra. Here he made significant contributions with a theorem named after him.
In 1970 he received the Senior Berwick Prize of the London Mathematical Society , of which he was Vice President from 1978 to 1980.
