Isaacs is most famous for formulating the Isaacs–Navarro conjecture along with Gabriel Navarro, a widely cited generalization of the McKay conjecture.[7][8]
Books
Isaacs is famous as the author of Character Theory of Finite Groups (first published in 1976), one of the most well-known graduate student-level introductory books in character theory and representation theory of finite groups.[9][10][11]
Isaacs is also the author of the book Algebra: A Graduate Course (first published in 1994; republished in 2009),[12] which received highly positive reviews.[13] Additionally, he is the author of Finite Group Theory (published in 2008).[14][15][16]
Isaacs was a Pólya lecturer for the Mathematical Association of America. He received the Benjamin Smith Reynolds award for teaching engineering students at the University of Wisconsin and a UW Madison campus teaching award. He was also the recipient of a Sloan Foundation research award.
