Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Algebra
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Quantum mechanics

Garrett Birkhoff focuses on Algebra, Pure mathematics, Abstract algebra, Mathematical analysis and Mathematics education. The Algebra study combines topics in areas such as Symmetric algebra, Cellular algebra, Division algebra, Filtered algebra and Hilbert metric. His study in Cellular algebra is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Universal enveloping algebra and Subalgebra.

His Abstract algebra research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Point and Axiom. His study in Power series, Differential equation, Ordinary differential equation, Constant coefficients and Regular singular point is done as part of Mathematical analysis. His research ties Field and Mathematics education together.

His most cited work include:

  • The Logic of Quantum Mechanics (2124 citations)
  • Ordinary Differential Equations (827 citations)
  • On the Structure of Abstract Algebras (763 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Algebra, Pure mathematics, Mathematical analysis, Applied mathematics and Algebra over a field. His primary area of study in Algebra is in the field of Abstract algebra. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Finite element method and Mathematical analysis.

The subject of his Cellular algebra research is within the realm of Algebra representation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Algebra (20.30%)
  • Pure mathematics (19.80%)
  • Mathematical analysis (14.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1979-2017)?

  • Algebra (20.30%)
  • Mathematical analysis (14.36%)
  • Pure mathematics (19.80%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Algebra, Mathematical analysis, Pure mathematics, Abstract algebra and Algebra over a field. As part of his studies on Algebra, Garrett Birkhoff often connects relevant subjects like Universal algebra. His Integral equation, Partial differential equation and Cnoidal wave study, which is part of a larger body of work in Mathematical analysis, is frequently linked to Composite material and Added mass, bridging the gap between disciplines.

As part of his studies on Pure mathematics, he often connects relevant areas like Canonical form. His work carried out in the field of Abstract algebra brings together such families of science as Topology, Topological algebra, Automorphism and Lie algebra. His Algebra over a field research integrates issues from Series, If and only if, Combinatorial theory and Equivalence relation.

Between 1979 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Jets, wakes, and cavities (547 citations)
  • Hydrodynamics : a study in logic, fact, and similitude. (273 citations)
  • Developmental reprogramming after chromosome transfer into mitotic mouse zygotes (272 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Algebra

Calculus, Algebra over a field, Combinatorics, Convexity and Axiom are his primary areas of study. His research in Calculus intersects with topics in Epistemology and Topology. His Algebra over a field study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Class, Series, Combinatorial theory and Equivalence relation.

His Combinatorics study incorporates themes from Lattice and If and only if. His study on Convexity is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Pure mathematics, Regular polygon, Partially ordered set, Join and meet and Total order. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Foundations of mathematics, Development, Function space, German and Unification.
