Hartley's PhD thesis was completed in 1964 at the University of Cambridge under Philip Hall's supervision.[1]
Career and research
Hartley spent a year at the
He published more than 100 papers, mostly on group theory, and collaborated widely with other mathematicians. His main interest was
Hartley is perhaps best known by undergraduates for his book Rings, Modules and Linear Algebra, with Trevor Hawkes.[5]
Personal life
Hartley was a keen hill walker, and it was while descending Helvellyn in the English Lake District that he collapsed with a heart attack and died.
Awards and honours
The 'Brian Hartley Room' at the School of Mathematics at Manchester is named in his honour.[citation needed]
