Anne Schilling is an American mathematician specializing in
algebraic combinatorics
Algebraic combinatorics is an area of mathematics that employs methods of abstract algebra, notably group theory and representation theory, in various combinatorial contexts and, conversely, applies combinatorial techniques to problems in algeb ...

representation theory
Representation theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract algebraic structures by ''representing'' their elements as linear transformations of vector spaces, and studies modules over these abstract algebraic structures. In essen ...

mathematical physics
Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematics, mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. The ''Journal of Mathematical Physics'' defines the field as "the application of mathematics to problems in physics and t ...

, Schilling is the author of the textbook on
linear algebra
Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as:
:a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n=b,
linear maps such as:
:(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \mapsto a_1x_1+\cdots +a_nx_n,
and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices.

crystal base
A crystal base for a representation of a quantum group on a \Q(v)-vector space
is not a base of that vector space but rather a \Q-base of L/vL where L is a \Q(v)-lattice in that vector spaces. Crystal bases appeared in the work of and also in the ...

Recognition
Schilling was included in the 2019 class of fellows of the
American Mathematical Society
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, ...
"for contributions to algebraic combinatorics, combinatorial representation theory, and mathematical physics and for service to the profession". For the academic year 2012–2013 she was awarded a Simons Fellowship. In 2002 she received a Humboldt Research Fellowship and was a Fulbright Scholar from 1992-1993 as a doctoral student.
