Alfred Brauer

Alfred Theodor Brauer (April 9, 1894 – December 23, 1985) was a German-American mathematician who did work in number theory.

He initially worked in the Northeast, but in 1942 he settled into a position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

A good deal of his works, and the Alfred T. Brauer library, would be linked to this university.

He occasionally taught at Wake Forest University after he retired from Chapel Hill at 70.

He was the brother of the mathematician Richard Brauer, who was the founder of modular representation theory.
