Irving Reiner

Irving Reiner (February 8, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York – October 28, 1986) was a mathematician at the University of Illinois who worked on representation theory. He solved the problem of finding which abelian groups have a finite number of indecomposable modules. His book with Charles W. Curtis, (Curtis & Reiner 1962), was for many years the standard text on representation theory.

Reiner obtained his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1947; his dissertation, A generalization of Meyer's theorem, was written under the supervision of Burton Wadsworth Jones.

gollark: Well, the general problem is the attitude of "IT MUST ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN ANYTHING".
gollark: Not even DE can destroy the shield. Although its stupid reactors can pass through it.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: <@404656680496791554> OH REALLY?
gollark: They can't because DE is moronically stupid and oneupful.
