Bruce Lee Rothschild
Bruce Lee Rothschild (born August 26, 1941 in Los Angeles , California ) is an American mathematician who studies combinatorics .
Rothschild studied at Caltech with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and received his doctorate in 1967 with Øystein Ore at Yale University ( A generalization of Ramsey's theorem and a conjecture of Rota ). From 1967 to 1969 he was an instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and from 1968 to 1971 a consultant at Bell Laboratories . From 1971 he was Assistant Professor , from 1973 Associate Professor and from 1977 Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles .
He dealt in particular with the Ramsey theory and published several works with Paul Erdős and Ronald Graham , including the Graham-Rothschild theorem ( Graham Rothschild Parameter Sets Theorem ), a fundamental theorem of the Ramsey theory. From it follow the Ramsey theorem (it can be viewed as an analog of this theorem for parameter sets) and the Hales-Jewett theorem .
In 1971 he was one of the first recipients of the George Pólya Prize . He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Mathematical Society . From 1973 to 1975 he was a Sloan Research Fellow .
From 1970 Rothschild was editor of the Journal of Combinatorial Theory .
