The Unreal Life of Oscar Zariski by Carol Parikh (PDF)

Description

The Unreal Life of Oscar Zariski records the life of Oscar Zariski that is based upon Carol Parikh’s interviews with his family, colleagues, students, and his own memories from tape-recorded interviews conducted before his death in 1986.This book describes Oscar Zariski’s work in mathematics that perpetually altered the foundations of algebraic geometry. The powerful tools he forged from the ideas of algebra allowed him to penetrate classical problems with a clarity and depth that brought a rigor to the way algebraic geometers carry out proofs. The strength of his work was matched by his forcefulness as a teacher, and the students he trained at Johns Hopkins and later at Harvard have made essential contributions to many areas of mathematics.This publication is beneficial to students and researchers interested in Oscar Zariski’s life and work in mathematics.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐An outstanding biography of a great scholar. The way biographies should be written.

⭐Carol Parikh’s engaging bio of Oscar Zariski is a valuable contribution to the history of mathematics; it provides an understandable history of the development of algebraic geometry. The book also offers a valuable lesson in how political and racist vendettas have affected the “pure” science of mathematics and the lives of mathematicians. I came across her compelling book a year after publishing “A3 & His Algebra,” the bio of A.A. Albert, who had a close collegial relationship with Zariski. The personal histories of both men demonstrate the importance of a free and open academic atmosphere to the development of scientific innovation. Nancy E. Albert, author of “A3 & His Algebra”.
