Buchsbaum received his bachelor's degree from Columbia College in New York City in 1949 and received his doctorate in 1954 with Samuel Eilenberg at Columbia University ( Exact Categories and Duality ). As a post-graduate student , he was an instructor at Princeton University and the University of Chicago .
In 1956 he was Assistant Professor and 1959 Associate Professor at Brown University and 1961 Associate Professor at Brandeis University . In 1963 he received a full professorship there and from 1962 to 1964 he headed the mathematics faculty (and again from 1980 to 1982 and from 1994 to 1996). He retired in 1999. He was visiting professor in Rome, Bologna, Turin, Genoa, Montpellier, Valladolid and Caracas, among others.
Buchsbaum dealt with commutative and homological algebra and representation theory of algebras and groups. He published, among others, with Maurice Auslander (since 1956, for example the theory of Noetherian rings), David Eisenbud , Gian-Carlo Rota . In 1955 he gave an axiomatic definition of the Abelian category independently of Alexander Grothendieck .
In 1965/66 he was a Guggenheim Fellow . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 1995 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
