Otto Schilling
Otto Franz Georg Schilling ( born November 3, 1911 in Apolda, † June 20, 1973 in Highland Park, Illinois ) was a German - American mathematician who worked on algebra.
Schilling was the son of a bell founder Master ( bell foundry in Apolda ) and went to high school in Apolda. From 1930 he studied at the University of Jena, the University of Göttingen (with Emmy Noether ) and the University of Marburg mathematics. In 1934 he received his doctorate in Marburg with Helmut Hasse with a theme ( About some relationships between the arithmetic hypercomplex number systems and algebraic number fields, Mathematische Annalen Bd.111, 1935, S.372 ), the Emmy Noether had suggested. Subsequently he was a post- doctoral fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge University, and from 1935 to 1937 at the Institute for Advanced Study. After that, he was a scholarship at Johns Hopkins University and from 1939 Instructor at the University of Chicago. In 1943 he was an assistant professor there in 1945 and associate professor in 1958, where he received a full professorship. From 1961 he was a professor at Purdue University, where he remained until his death.
Schilling employed, for example, (some with Hasse ) with division algebras and arithmetic of function fields, evaluation theory.
He was not with the mathematician ( geometry) Otto Bernhard Schilling ( 1890-1945, professor in Dresden) are confused.
His doctoral include Harley Flanders and Anatol Rapoport.
