Rich brauer biography death: › Science › Mathematics.

He was the founder of modular representation theory. Alfred Brauer was Richard's brother and seven years older. They were born to a Jewish family. Both were interested in science and mathematics, but Alfred was injured in combat in World War I. As a boy, Richard dreamt of becoming an inventor , and in February enrolled in Technische Hochschule Berlin-Charlottenburg.

He soon transferred to University of Berlin. Except for the summer of when he studied at University of Freiburg , he studied in Berlin, being awarded his PhD on 16 March Issai Schur conducted a seminar and posed a problem in that Alfred and Richard worked on together, and published a result. The problem also was solved by Heinz Hopf at the same time.

Richard wrote his thesis under Schur, providing an algebraic approach to irreducible, continuous, finite-dimensional representations of real orthogonal rotation groups.
