Eben Matlis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eben Matlis is a mathematician known for his contributions to the theory of rings and modules, especially for his work with injective modules over commutative Noetherian rings.
Matlis earned his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1958, with Irving Kaplansky as advisor. He had at least eight doctoral students and 10 doctoral descendants. He is now an emeritus professor at Northwestern University. Though he himself only published about 28 papers, his name occurs in the title of over 40 papers in the Mathematical Reviews.
