Richard H. Schwartz belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Richard H. Schwartz as American mathematician and writer.
Richard H. Schwartz was born at Arverne in 1934. His recorded nationality is United States.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at City University of New York and College of Staten Island.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
That the work was done from United States matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
