Both parents immigrated to USA for business. 2 nd child of the family. Spent most of his life in Chicago. Studied at University of Chicago.

4. Compare and Contrast Abraham Albert is famous for his work on Riemann Matrices. Ruth Bari is known for her work on graph theory and homomorphisms. Both have Master’s Degree and doctorates. Abraham Albert helped research for another mathematician L. E. Dickson, and Ruth Bari taught a mathematician William Tutte for 2 weeks. Albert won an award for his work, but Bari didn’t get any prizes. Bari was a professor longer than Albert at the universities.

5. Influences to their contributions Ruth Bari’s university suggested women should give up their learning so men from the World War II could continue studying, so her doctorate was delayed. L. E. Dickson made a big impact on Abraham Albert research for his later life.

6. Who has the bigger contribution I think Abraham Albert has a bigger contribution. He won a prize. Published books. Albert made decisions for many different departments including the National Science Foundation and gave loads of math opportunities for young people that were not there before. Participated in the World War 2 and helped deal with army problems.
