I. Martin Isaacs

Irving Martin "Marty" Isaacs (born April 14, 1940 in New York City ) is an American mathematician who deals with group theory (finite groups, theory of characters) and was a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison .

Isaacs studied at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn with a bachelor's degree in 1960 and at Harvard University with a master's degree in 1961 and a doctorate with Richard Brauer in 1964 (Finite p-solvable linear groups) . In 1969 he became Associate Professor and 1971 Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2011 he retired.

With Navarro, he generalized the McKay conjecture in representation theory of finite groups. He wrote two popular textbooks on group theory. He also dealt with other areas of algebra (body theory, Galois theory) and planar Euclidean geometry.

From 1971 to 1973 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . 1973/74 he was visiting professor at Berkeley and 1984 Honorary Fellow at Oxford University. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
