Women Mathematicians

Some time ago I read a very interesting book.
It was exciting for me to read of the accomplishments of women over the centuries who overcame sometimes extremely difficult circumstances, to study and become mathematicians. Emily du Châtelet
Emilie du Châtelet(1706-1749)
M Agnesi
Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-1799)
I was able to do a little research in the time available to me and I found that there has been a greater study made on the very women I was going to present to you.
The women are:
  • Hypatia (AD 370-415)
  • Emilie du Châtelet (1706-1749)
  • Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-1799)

  • Ada Byron Lovelace (1815-1852)
  • Grace Chisholm Young (1868-1944)
  • Emmy Noether (1882-1935)
