Timeline of women in mathematics
This is a timeline of women in mathematics.
Timeline
Classical Age
- Before 350: Pandrosion, a Greek mathematician known for an approximate solution to doubling the cube and a simplified exact solution to the construction of the geometric mean.[1]
- c. 350–370 until 415: The lifetime of Hypatia, a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher in Roman Egypt who was the first well-documented woman in mathematics.[2]
18th Century
- 1748: Italian mathematician Maria Agnesi published the first book discussing both differential and integral calculus, which was called Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventù italiana.[3][4]
- 1759: French mathematician Émilie du Châtelet's translation and commentary on Isaac Newton’s work Principia Mathematica was published posthumously; it is still considered the standard French translation.[5]
- c. 1787 – 1797: Self-taught Chinese astronomer Wang Zhenyi published at least twelve books and multiple articles on astronomy and mathematics.[6]
19th Century
- 1827: French mathematician Sophie Germain saw her theorem, known as Sophie Germain's theorem, published in a footnote of a book by the mathematician Adrien-Marie Legendre.[7][8] In this theorem Germain proved that if x, y, and z are integers and if x5 + y5 = z5 then either x, y, or z must be divisible by 5. Germain's theorem was a major step toward proving Fermat's Last Theorem for the case where n equals 5.[7]
- 1829: The first public examination of an American girl in geometry was held.[9]
- 1858: Florence Nightingale became the first female member of the Royal Statistical Society.[10]
- 1873: Sarah Woodhead of Britain became the first woman to take the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Exam, which she passed.[11]
- 1874: Russian mathematician Sofya Kovalevskaya became the first woman to earn a doctorate (in the modern sense) in mathematics.[12]
- 1880: Charlotte Angas Scott of Britain obtained special permission to take the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Exam, as women were not normally allowed to sit for the exam. She came eighth on the Tripos of all students taking them, but due to her sex, the title of "eighth wrangler," a high honour, went officially to a male student.[13] At the ceremony, however, after the seventh wrangler had been announced, all the students in the audience shouted her name. Because she could not attend the award ceremony, Scott celebrated her accomplishment at Girton College where there were cheers and clapping at dinner, and a special evening ceremony where the students sang "See the Conquering Hero Comes", and she received an ode written by a staff member, and was crowned with laurels.[13]
- 1885: Charlotte Angas Scott became the first British woman to receive a doctorate in mathematics, which she received from the University of London.[14]
- 1886: Winifred Edgerton Merrill became the first American woman to earn a PhD in mathematics, which she earned from Columbia University.[15]
- 1888: The Kovalevskaya top, one of a brief list of known examples of integrable rigid body motion, was discovered by Sofya Kovalevskaya.[16][17]
- 1889: Sofya Kovalevskaya was appointed as Ordinary Professor (full professor) in mathematics at Stockholm University, making her the first woman in Europe in modern times to hold such a position.[18][19]
- 1890: Philippa Fawcett of Britain[20] became the first woman to obtain the top score in the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Exam. Her score was 13 per cent higher than the second highest score. When the women's list was announced, Fawcett was described as "above the Senior Wrangler", but she did not receive the title of Senior Wrangler, as at that time only men could receive degrees from Cambridge and therefore only men were eligible for the Senior Wrangler title.[21][22]
- 1891: Charlotte Angas Scott of Britain became the first woman to join the American Mathematical Society, then called the New York Mathematical Society.[23]
- 1891: Cornelia Fabri of Italy became the first woman to earn a doctorate in math from the University of Pisa.[24]
- 1894: Charlotte Angas Scott of Britain became the first woman on the first Council of the American Mathematical Society.[25]
- 1897: Four women attended the inaugural International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich in 1897 - Charlotte Angas Scott, Iginia Massarini, Vera von Schiff, and Charlotte Wedell.[26]
