Charles W. Curtis
Charles Whittlesey Curtis (* 1926 ) is an American mathematician who studies algebra.
Curtis studied at Bowdoin College (Bachelor 1948) and received his PhD from Yale University with Nathan Jacobson in 1951 ( Additive Ideal Theory in General Rings ). He was a professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison from 1954 to 1963 and then professor at the University of Oregon .
In 1954/55 and 1968/69 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study .
His book with Irving Reiner on representation theory of finite groups and related algebras was a standard work for many years and made both known. He also published a book on the history of representation theory of groups and algebras until about 1960.
In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
