algebraic geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics, classically studying zeros of multivariate polynomials. Modern algebraic geometry is based on the use of abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, for solving geometrical ...
that involve a finite number of solutions. In 1874, Schubert won a prize for solving a question posed by
Zeuthen.
Schubert calculus was named after him.
