The History Women Mathematicians

  • Maria Gaetana Agnesi

    Maria Gaetana  Agnesi
    Maria Agnesi studied equations. The equation she made was y = a*sqrt(a*x-x*x)/x because she thought the x-axis is the vertical axis and the y-axis is the horizontal axis.
  • Sophie Germain

    Sophie Germain
    Sophie began studying math with teaching herself mathematics using the books in her father library. Sophie German later studied geometry througout college.
  • Mary Fairfax Somerville

    Mary Fairfax Somerville
    Mary Fairfax Somerville began her studies with studying Elements of Geometry. Mary contributed to algebra with solving Diaphantine equations. later she published her work and won a silver metal.
  • Christine Ladd- Franklin

    Christine Ladd- Franklin
    Christine- Ladd- Franklin essay tittled " On the Algebra of Logic". She attended the college John Hopkins and later the school would not grant Christine- Ladd Franklin an degree. Later in 1925, at the age of 78 the John Hopkins University granted Christine- Ladd Franklin a degree.
  • Emmy Noether

    Emmy Noether
    Emmy was a algebraist transformed the structions for example rings of polynomials and hypercomplex numbers into in algebraic theories. These structures are now called Noether rings.
  • Dorothy Maud Wrinch

    Dorothy Maud Wrinch
    Dorothy maud Wrinch wrote many papers on mathematical subjects. One of the papers that were wrote was the probability theory.
  • Olga Taussky- Todd

    Olga Taussky- Todd
    Olga Taussky- Todd algebraic work was commutativity, generalized commutativity and addttive and multiplicative commutators. Olga also came up with her on algebraic number theory.
  • Julia Bowman Robinson

    Julia Bowman Robinson
    Julia took advanced math classes throughout high school. later Julia started to work with David Hilbert's tenth problem, which included Diophantine equations. Then she explained her progress with writing a paper. She made a guess that there were Diophantine equations that increased faster than polynomials, but could be slower than exponents. Her guess was later proven right.
  • Kate Fenchel

    Kate Fenchel
    Kate Fenchel published many paper dealing with algebra regarding her research of algebra. In one paper the formula (n-1)x(n-10) was used. One part of algrebra was vectormodules. Kate Fenchel was also a Algebra professor.
  • Charlotte Angas Scott

    Charlotte Angas Scott
    Charlotte required that all her students had algebra through quadratic equations, geometry progressions and also plain geometry.
