Etymology
Named after German mathematician Hermann Schubert (1848–1911), who introduced the theory in the nineteenth century.
Noun
Schubert calculus (uncountable)
- (mathematics) A branch of algebraic geometry concerned with solving certain types of counting problem in projective geometry; a symbolic calculus used to represent and solve such problems;
(by generalisation) the enumerative geometry of linear subspaces; the study of analogous questions in generalised cohomology theories.
1986, Christopher I. Byrnes, Anders Lindquist, Frequency Domain and State Space methods for Linear Systems, North-Holland, page 77:Hall appears to have been first with this observation, too, for in a lecture he gave at a 1959 Canadian Mathematical Congress conference in Banff on the algebra of symmetric polynomials he noted that the Schubert calculus has combinatorics similar to that of the symmetric polynomials .

- The rich combinatorial backbone of the theory of Schur functions, including the Robinson–Schensted algorithm, jeu-de-taquin, the plactic monoid (see for example ), crystal bases , and puzzles , now underlies Schubert calculus and in particular produces a direct formula for the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients.

- This point of view was extensively developed by Laksov–Thorup and Laksov in the case of equivariant Schubert calculus.
