Normally many believe mathematicians are men, however Amalie Emmy Noether is one of which broke this norm. Throughout history there have been women who were mathematicians and who have contributed as much as men and even though their names might have been forgotten or they just were not recognized, their contributions to math have not. Daughter of Max Noether and Amalia Kaufmann, Emmy Noether was born March 23, 1882 in Bavaria Germany. She was the oldest out of her parents four children, “Her brother Fritz Noether and Emmy were the only ones survived childhood” (Agnes scott, 2016.) Emmy lived a rather normal and average childhood learning about arts which was expected from girls at the time. “Emmy did not appear exceptional as a child. Playing …show more content…
As stated her contributions to mathematics have not been forgotten. Around this time she worked with Ernst Otto Fischer an algebraist, both started work on a general theoretical algebra for which her recognition later comes into place. According to University of St.Andrews (2014), “Emmy Noether is one of the world's greatest women mathematicians.” In 1915 she joined what was the Mathematical Institute in Göttingen where she worked with Klein and Hilbert on Einstein’s general relativity theory. In 1918 Emmy proved two theorems that were basic for both general relativity and for elementary particle physics. In about 1921 she made the important step, which we commented on earlier, of bringing the two theories of rings of polynomials and rings of numbers under a single theory of abstract commutative rings.” (University of St.Andrews,2015.) Because of the discrimination and differences between sexes both male and female it made it difficult for Emmy to publish her work until Van der Waerden’s work on Modern algebra was published in 1930 which was that, that Emmy’s work become widely known. However, “Emmy Noether’s most significant achievement runs deeps than theorems in ring theory..” (Association for women in mathematics,
Math is often seen as a difficult subject to consume and fully understand. Many of us have experienced times where we become frustrated with mathematics and make it seem impossible. The wish to understand math were especially impossible to African-Americans in segregated America where not every child was given quality education. Katherine Johnson, an African-American NASA mathematician, experienced the inability to attend advanced math courses due to her race. It came with great effort to be where she is today in society. Her works were hidden and barely spoken about. However, her legacy stands with history.
The non-deaf Gallaudet president Elizabeth Zinser was very hated by students, staff and most everyone. Elizabeth being hearing wasn't the only reason she was hated, she was hated for many reasons being hearing was one and not being able to sign was another. She made decisions for a school that had a whole different culture than she did and that she didn't understand because she wasn't a part of the deaf-signing people that went to school that she was overlooking. When she was named president in March 1988, this sparked a protest by many students, alumni, faculty, and staff who felt that although she was a qualified administrator, she didn't have the knowledge and skills necessary to lead Gallaudet University. Unhappy with the decision of her being named the president of Gallaudet, Gallaudet students, backed by a number of alumni, staff,
There are few women that have made an impact on the math society compared with the number of men. A person can ramble off names such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Pythagoras of Samos, and Jean-François Niceron. Where are the women mathematicians? This paper will examine the lives of women that have made an impact on the world of
This project is about a brave woman who survived the Holocaust.Eva Galler was born in january 1,1924 and she died on january 5,2006. She was the oldest of eight children.Her father,Israel Vagel,was the head of the jewish community in their town.Eva’s family were well off compared to the other.Eva,unlike most girls at the time,she went to high school,educated herself and got employed at the local office as a secretary.
Evelyn Boyd Granville was one of the first African Americans to be a Mathematician. She was well educated by schools that helped her become a teacher (Professor) and has a background of her family whom also helped.
Being one of the first black women to receive a PhD in mathematics, she opened up the field to women, especially women of color, who were systematically drawn away from math because of the color of their skin or because of sexist exclusionary notions. Although her contributions to mathematics are seen more in a group effort, one cannot take away from the fact of her role as an inspiration to girls interested in the field of mathematics. With her widespread dedication to education and large investments of time for space programs, this woman was pivotal in challenging sexist and racist stereotypes that had held women like her back for years. She opened up positions for women of color in fields where they were never
Margaret Sanger is one of the top ten most influential women in united states history for her role as an American Birth Control Activist. Margaret fought adamantly for women’s rights throughout her life, becoming the first to open a Birth Control Clinic in the U.S.

A female African-American mathematician who contributed to mathematics was Janice E. Cook. Her birth and death date is unknown, however, she was born in New Orleans. She is one of seven children of Florence L. Cook and Henry Cook. Growing up, she admired her mother, who was an elementary teacher, describing her as an inspirational and heroic person in her life. After Janice completed her studies for the bachelor and masters degree she began a professional career in the corporate arena, however, she wasn’t satisfied. She later realized her true passion was in teaching mathematics as a teacher at the middle and high school levels. Once she determined her true educational passion in life, she continued her studies and gained her pre-doctoral
Margaret Sanger was born September 14, 1879 in Corning, New York. She moved to Greenwich, Village in 1910 where she started promoting Women’s Rights to Birth Control. In 1911 she became heavily influenced and moved to New York City where she joined and participated in radical groups and became a socialist, labor activist, and anarchist. She published her first paper which was “The Women Rebel and provided information on birth control and issues that were going on in the world. Margaret opened her first Birth Control clinic in 1916 which was located in Brownsville, New York. But, the clinic didn’t last for only a month because she was charged with public nuisance and was sentenced thirty days in prison. But, that didn’t stopped Sanger from
Catherine Esther Beecher, a woman who spent her life promoting equal access to education for women. She encouraged women to embrace being nurturing mothers and teachers.

A Lutheran pastor in Manhattan, New York City has drawn inspiration from “Peanuts” comic strip character Lucy in ministering to other people through a help booth which jokingly advertises a 5-cent charge for spiritual help.
Throughout history, women have been looked down upon and seen as insubordinate and incapable. Women were never viewed as equal to men until about the 1950s. History will also tell us that men dominated the mathematical scene and have made the biggest contributions in that field, yet this does not seem to be the case. Women have had just as big an impact on math as men have, if not a bigger contribution.They still continue to rock the mathematical world today. Various women such as Hypatia from the ancient Greeks, Grace Chisholm Young from England at the turn of the century, to Mary Fairfax Somerville from the Imperialist English, and Maria Gaetana Agnesi from Modern Enlightenment in Italy have all contributed in major ways to the
Mathematics has always been described as the purest science and considered as one of the most important aspects in many countries around the world, especially developed countries. Theoretically, the most significant requirements for a life of a mathematician is the mathematical ability. Nevertheless, very few women get involve in this field, which creates a myth, and slowly develops into a stereotype in society, that women are naturally not good at math. However, many people would be surprised, that “the world’s greatest living mathematician for a time was a women” (Deakin 13). Hypatia of Alexandria was, indeed, a physically beautiful woman who used her talent and intelligence to defy the stereotypes against
