Alicia Stott
In 1914, Schoute's colleagues at Groningen invited Alicia Stott to a celebration, planning to award to her an honorary degree.In 1930, Alicia Stott began collaborating with H. S. M. Coxeter on the geometry of kaleidoscopes. She also constructed cardboard models of the "snub 24-cell." -
Amalie Emmy Noether
Exhaustive research on abstract algebra and theoretical physics.
Path-breaking theories in the field of algebra.
One of the famous theorems of physics 'Noether's Theorem', connecting conservation laws and symmetry . -
Kate Fenchel
She got a job teaching high school math in 1931, but lost her job when Hitler came to power (she was Jewish).
She moved to Denmark, and became mathematics professor’s secretary and did research in Algebra.She published her first paper in 1937, and later in 1965 she published two more papers regarding her research in Algebra. -
Olga Tusky-Todd
She began her studies in 1925, at the University of Vienna and received her doctoral degree in 1930. Her matrix theory fell into three categories: Analytic, Algebraic, and Arithmetical. Her algebraic work focused on commutativity, generalized commutatuvuty, and additive and multiplicative commutators. -
Gloria Hewitt
In 1962, Gloria Hewitt became only the third African-American woman to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics. She was a professor of mathematics at the University of Montana and a dedicated mathematics educator. And was also a reader and Table Leader for the grading of the AP Calculus Exam for 12 years. -
Helen Merrill
