Maria Gaetana Agnesi
Italian mathematician and philosopher, considered to be the first woman in the world to have earned a reputation in math. Agnesi’s wrote and even pubished her best work in two volumes, which gave some hard and systematic algebra and analysis. -
Marie-Sophie Germain
She was born mathematician who contributed in the field of number theory and different geometry due to her great interest in the same. In 1816 she also won the French Academy of Science contest. She studied differential calulus while confined to her home. -
Charlotte Angas Scott
Charlotte wanted her students to have had Algebra in quadratic equations and geometric progressions and plane geometry. She also wanted her students to take solid geometry and trigonometry. -
Helen Abbot Merrill
She graduated from Wellesley with a B.A. degree in 1886. She earned her Ph.D. from Yale with a thesis "On Solutions of Differential Equations". After returning to teaching at Wellesley in 1903, she made an introductory course in functions, and later a course in Descriptive Geometry. -
Kate Fenchel
Kate studied mathematics at the University of Berlin (1924-1928).She taught at a high scool but lost her job when Hitler took control. She moved and began to study algebra. One of her favorite area of it dealt with vectormodules. She used an (n-1) x (n-1) structure matrix for a group with n elements. -
Olga Tausky-Todd
Major work was in topological algebra or algebraic number theory. Her theory fell into three categories which were Analytic, Algebraic, and Arithmetical. -
Marjorie Lee Browne
She has really contributed her work to linear and matrix algebra. Her work also showed simple evidences of topological properties and relations between classical groups. -
Julia Bowman Robinson
In high schoo lshe took geometry, algebra, advanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry. She was the only female in those classes. She had thought that focused at how integers could be related to rational numbers. She hypothesized that there were equations that increased faster than polynomials, but slower than exponents. Her hypothesis was later proven right. -
Gloria Hewitt
Gloria Hewitt was the third African-American woman to get a Ph.D. in mathematics. She was a professor of math at the University of Montana and a dedicated math educator, and was also a reader for the grading of the AP Calculus Exam for 12 years, and she was a member of the AP Calculus Test Development Committee from 1991 until 1995.
