Author’s Profile

In 1989 President Bush presented Saunders Mac Lane the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor in science, ”… for revolutionizing the language and content of modern mathematics by his collaboration in the creation and development of the fields of homological algebra and category theory, for outstanding contributions to mathematics education, and for incisive leadership of the mathematical and scientific community.”

author

Saunders Mac Lane was born in 1909 in Norwich, Connecticut, and was an undergraduate at Yale university. In 1933 he received his D. Phil. from the Mathematical Institute at Göttingen. After instructorships at several universities he joined the mathematics faculty at Harvard in 1938, and in 1947 he became professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago.

A Survey of Modern Algebra, written by Saunders Mac Lane and Garrett Birkhoff and published in 1941, was the standard undergraduate text in abstract algebra for twenty-five years. Professor Mac Lane has also written Homology (1963), Algebra (1967), Categories for the Working mathematician (1971), and Mathematics: Form and Function (1985).

One of the classic collaborations in mathematics, that between Saunders Mac Lane and Samuel Eilenberg, began in 1941 and resulted in the creation of the fields of homological algebra and category theory. This work changed the way in which mathematicians in many areas think about the subject.

Saunders Mac Lane has served the mathematical and scientific communities extensively. He has been president of the Mathematical Association of America (1951-74). He has also served as vice president of the American Philosophical Society (1970-71) and of the National Academy of Sciences (1973-81).
