She played a pivotal role in the creation of abstract algebra, as well as a collaborator on multiple crucial cases one of which involved equipping a formula to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. She was eccentric at times, unkempt, didn’t wear the traditional clothing for a woman of her time, and above all else she was brilliant in a time when women’s minds were

Throughout my academic career, specifically prior to college matriculation, math to me has only been a collection of meaningless marks and unnecessary rules. I do not consider myself good or bad in math. I have just as many positive memories about the subject as I do negative ones. As most people do when introduced to a new topic or concept within that topic,

    Living in a world where computers have solved some of the world’s biggest problems and revolutionised the way science and technology function in our day to day lives there still exists a number of problems that even classical computers cannot solve or take an incredibly large amount to do so. For example RSA encryption works on the basis that factoring large numbers takes incredible amounts of time even the most sophisticated classical factoring algorithms take unrealistic amounts to factor large
