| Woman Mathematician |
She was the daughter of a mathematician called Theon. Hypatia brilliance in astronomy,
philosophy and mathematics made her the first and last greatest female
thinker of ancient Alexandria located in Egypt.

Maria Agnesi was an Italian
philosopher and mathematician, most known for being the first female to be
appointed as a mathematics professor. She wrote a book on math that still
survives, (i.e, Analytical Institutions) for the Use of Italian Youth in
English. Another pioneering contribution was the Witch of Agnesi- a curve that
she wrote the equation for.
She was a physicist,
mathematician and writer during the Enlightenment era in Europe. She commented
on Newton’s Principia Mathematica which is its best known
translation in French even today.
Sophie Germain’s paper on
elasticity theory made her the first woman to be awarded from the Paris Academy
of Sciences in 1816 and first unmarried woman to attend sessions at the Academy
of Sciences and the Instit de France. She was also a major contributor in
proving Fermat’s Last Theorem.
When asked to translate the
memoir of Charles Babbage, the
Analytical Engine, Lovelace went ahead and added her own comments and notes
about a method of calculating a sequence of Bernoulli numbers: what is today
known as the world’s first ever computer program subsequently making Lovelace
renowned as the world’s first computer programmer.
Kovalevskaya’s
biggest achievement was becoming the first woman in Europe to receive full
professorship at the University of Stockholm.
Contributions:
Contributions:
- She gave the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya Theorem its end result in 1875.
- worked on a paper in which she invented the Kovalevskaya Top and published ten papers based on mathematics and mathematical physics.
Emmy Noether is famous for
coining the Noether’s Theorem that clarifies the relationship between
conservation laws and symmetry, as well as Noether’s Ring that changed the
basics of abstract algebra.

Cartwright was the first female
selected as a Fellow for the Royal Society of England.
Contributions:

Though she suffered from
ill-health throughout her short life, Robinson made it as the first female
mathematician elected by the National Academy of Sciences.
Contributions:

- She is well regarded for her work on Hilbert’s Tenth problem and decision problems.
Awards and Recognition:
- President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
