Career

Hartshorne was a Putnam Fellow in Fall 1958 while he was an undergraduate at Harvard University[1] (under the name Robert C. Hartshorne[2]). He received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1963 after completing a doctoral dissertation titled Connectedness of the Hilbert scheme under the supervision of John Coleman Moore and Oscar Zariski.[3][4] He then became a Junior Fellow at Harvard University, where he taught for several years.[5] In 1972, he was appointed to the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley,[5] where he is a Professor Emeritus as of 2020.[6]

Hartshorne is the author of the text Algebraic Geometry.[7][8]
