Richard Shore is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Richard Shore as American mathematician.
Richard Shore was born in 1946. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at Cornell University.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
That the work was done from United States matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
