  Issai Schur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Issai Schur (January 10, 1875 in Mogilyov - January 10, 1941 in Tel Aviv) was a mathematician who worked in Germany for most of his life.
Nevertheless he was dismissed from his chair in 1935 and, at the instigation of Bieberbach (who had previously sympathised with Schur regarding his treatment at the hands of the Nazis), he was forced to resign from the Prussian Academy in 1938.
Schur eventually emigrated to Palestine in 1939, and had to endure the humiliation of living out his final years in poverty.

Although Issai Schur was born in Mogilyov on the Dnieper, he spoke German without a trace of an accent, and nobody even guessed that it was not his first language.
Schur returned to work on representation theory with renewed vigour and he was able to complete the programme of research begun in his doctoral dissertation and give a complete description of the rational representations of the general linear group.
Schur had held an appointment before World War I which should have qualified him as a civil servant, but the facts were not allowed to get in the way, and he was 'retired'.

An ancillary result was the existence of the Schur decomposition which nowadays he is best known for.

 Encyclopedia: Schur multiplier
In group theory, the Schur multiplier is the second homology group of a group G with coefficients in the integers,
Schur multipliers are of especial interest when G is a perfect group, meaning a group equal to its own commutator subgroup.
The Schur multiplier is due to Issai Schur, and can be said to represent the beginning of group cohomology.

Schur was also interested in reducibility, location of roots and the construction of the Galois group of classes of polynomials such as Laguerre and Hermite polynomials.
In 1922 Schur was elected to the Prussian Academy, proposed by Planck, the secretary of the Academy.

 Schur complement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra and the theory of matrices, the Schur complement (named after Issai Schur) of a block of a matrix within the larger matrix is defined as follows.
The Schur complement arises as the result of performing a "partial" Gaussian elimination by multiplying the matrix M from the right with the "lower triangular" block matrix
If M is a positive definite symmetric matrix, then so is the Schur complement of D in M.

Schur had solved the problem for the case n = 1, where the matrices are over a prime field, and the case of n = 2 had been solved in the 1930s.
Schur held weekly problem hours, and in these sessions he would give the students difficult problems most of which Frobenius or Schur himself had solved, but occasionally he gave the class an open problem which he did not know how to solve.
Schur gave him the topic for his dissertation On the various ways of expressing an orthogonal matrix in terms of parameters and conducted his oral examination in November 1933.

 Richard Dagobert Brauer, February 10, 1901—April 17, 1977 | By J. A. Green | Biographical Memoirs
Schur had been a pupil of G. Frobenius, and had graduated at Berlin in 1901; he had been "ordentlicher Professor" (full professor) there since 1919.
In [4], he and Emmy Noether characterized Schur's "splitting fields" of a given irreducible representation * of a given finite dimensional algebra, in terms of the division algebra associated to *.
Schur suggested, in lectures at Berlin, an "arithmetic" approach: a given rational prime p generates, in the integral group ring of ZG of a given finite group G, an ideal whose prime divisors, in a suitable order containing ZG, correspond to the types of irreducible representations of G over a field of characteristic p.

 Zhang,
This book describes the Schur complement as a rich and basic tool in mathematical research and applications and discusses many significant results that illustrate its power and fertility.
The eight chapters of the book cover themes and variations on the Schur complement, including its historical development, basic properties, eigenvalue and singular value inequalities, matrix inequalities in both finite and infinite dimensional settings, closure properties, and applications in statistics, probability, and numerical analysis.

Issai Schur proved the first Ramsey Theorem (way before Ramsey).
He proved that if you color the integers from 1 to n by r-colors, you are GUARANTEED (if n is not too small) a monochromatic triple {x,y,x+y}.
If the number of colors is 2, Ron Graham, in SOCA 96' (Tianjin, June 1996), offered 100 dollars for the asymptotic minimal number of these Schur triples.

Main notions Abstract: The concept of a Schur ring goes back to a seminal paper by Issai Schur (1933), where Schur proved that a cyclic group of a composite order is a B-group (B stands for Burnside).
In other words it was proved that each primitive overgroup of a regular cyclic group Z_n of a composite order n in the symmetric group of degree n is a doubly transitive permutation group.
The name "Schur ring" (briefly S-ring) was coined by followers of Schur, in particular by H.Wielandt.

His treatment of Schur is more leisurely and detailed, but it is still not an easy road to travel.
Most textbooks contain the archeological remains of this process of development (with names like "Schur's Lemma" and "Maschke's Theorem" adorning their major results) and, sandwiched in between the latest and greatest proofs, some authors will note the existence of this development in brief casual asides.
