List of female mathematicians
- List of female mathematicians
This is a list of female mathematicians who have made significant contributions to mathematics.
While the majority of mathematicians are male, there have been some demographic changes since World War II. However, it is still the case with mathematics, as with neighboring branches of science such as physics, that women and historically disadvantaged minorities are underrepresented. A number of prizes instituted by the AMS and other mathematical societies are aimed at changing this situation.
Prominent female mathematicians have included:
* Emmy Noether (1882 - 1935)
* Sophie Germain (1776 - 1831)
* Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850 - 1891)
* Rózsa Péter (1905 - 1977)
* Julia Robinson (1919 - 1985)
* Mary Ellen Rudin
* Éva Tardos
* Ada Lovelace (1815 – 1852)
* Émilie du Châtelet
* Mary Cartwright
* Hypatia of Alexandria
* Marianna Csörnyei
* Ingrid Daubechies
* Maria Agnesi
* Shafi Goldwasser
* Karen Uhlenbeck
* Jessie MacWilliams
* Dusa McDuff
* Annie Moskol
* Ruth Moufang
* Hanna Neumann
* Cheryl Praeger
* Olga Aleksandrovna Ladyzhenskaya
