Grace Chisholm Young March 15, 1868 - March 29, 1944 Grace Chisholm Young was born on March 15, 1868, near London, England. She was the youngest of three surviving children. Her father was Warden of the Standards in the British government, in charge of the department of weights and measures. Her brother was sent to grammar school, a prestigious boarding school, and then earned a top scholarship to Oxford, but in the custom of the times in England, Grace and her sister were taught at home by their mother and a governess. Her family encouraged her to become involved in social work among the London poor but Chisholm wanted to continue her studies. Her mother would not allow her to study medicine so she decided to study mathematics at Girton College, part of Cambridge University. Girton, opened in 1869, was the first school in England dedicated to educating women at the university level. Chisholm entered Girton in 1889 at the age of 21. Women could not earn formal degrees at Cambridge at that time, but in 1893 she passed her final examinations (Mathematics Tripos) and scored the equivalent of a first-class degree. Chisholm wanted to continue in mathematics but women were not yet admitted to graduate schools in England so she went to Gottingen in Germany to study with Felix Klein. This was one of the major mathematical centers in the world. The decision to admit her had to be approved by the Berlin Ministry of Culture. She earned the Ph.D. magna cum laude at the age of 27. Again government approval had to be obtained to allow her to take the examination. She thus became the first woman to officially receive a doctorate in any field in Germany. As Sylvia Wiegand writes in [5]

Grace was the youngest of her parents' four children with her mother being 44 and her father 59 years old when she was born. Henry Chisholm had an important position in the government of the country being chief clerk to the exchequer. Grace had an older brother Hugh Chisholm, born two years earlier, who was also highly talented and went on to achieve fame as the editor of both the eleventh and twelfth editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Hugh was also highly influential as the city editor of The Times. Grace was only six years old when her father retired at the age of 65 and at this time the family moved to Haslemere in Surrey. There she was educated by a governess at home, then at the age of 17 she passed the Cambridge Senior Examination. Following her family's wishes, Grace become involved in social work among poor people in London. She was stopped by her family from studying medicine, the topic of her choice, then decided to enter Girton College, Cambridge in 1889 to study mathematics. At Girton her tutor was William Young . She obtained a first class degree in mathematics in 1892. Klein 's attitude towards women:-

William was his parents' eldest son and he was brought up by his parents as a Baptist. He attended the City of London School where the headmaster was particularly fascinated by mathematics. This headmaster was Edwin A Abott, who was the author of the famous popular mathematical work Flatland. He immediately saw the potential that Young had for mathematics and he encouraged him in that direction. In 1881 Young entered Peterhouse, Cambridge, to begin his undergraduate studies of mathematics. At Cambridge Young was an outstanding student showing far more mathematical ability than any of the other students in his year. However to achieve the position of First Wrangler (the top position in the list of First Class graduates) in the Mathematical Tripos required enormous dedication and training in the type of examination questions set in the Tripos. It would be fair to say that the First Wrangler was the most skilled at answering Tripos questions rather than the best mathematician and many of the great mathematicians who attended Cambridge failed to gain this distinction. Young was one such student for he made a very conscious decision that becoming First Wrangler was less important to him than having varied interests, both academic and sporting, at university. He was fourth wrangler in 1884. While at Cambridge he put aside the Baptist religion of his family and was baptised into the Church of England.

London Mathematical Society GRACE CHISHOLM YOUNG Information and guidance notes for applicants and host departments These fellowships, named after Grace Chisholm Young, aim to provide some support when a mathematical career is interrupted by family responsibilities, relocation of partner, or other similar circumstance, making possible some continuous mathematical activity and so enabling the fellow to be in a position to apply for posts when circumstances allow. The Fellowship will give an endorsement of the holder's status as a mathematician, so that the break in formal employment should not prevent them from resuming a career as a mathematician at a later stage. The holder of a Fellowship will have the title 'LMS Grace Young Fellow in Mathematics' Each holder will be based in a specific Mathematics Department in a University or Research Institute in the UK; the host institute would receive a contribution of £500 from the LMS or other sponsor, and be expected to provide an email address, use of library facilities and IT facilities for correspondence and access to research literature. Each holder will receive a personal research support fund of £500. A condition of the award is that the personal research support fund shall not be taxed or top-sliced by the host institution.

Grace Chisholm Young Grace Chisholm Young was born in Haslemere, England. Although her brother was sent to grammar school, a prestigious boarding school, where he could earn a top scholarship to Oxford, Grace and her sister were educated by a governess at home. In these times, this was the custom. Grace became involved in social work helping the poor in London. She had aspirations of studying medicine, but her family would not allow it. However, Grace wanted very much to continue her studies, so she entered Girton College, part of Cambridge University to study mathematics. Girton was the first school at the university level that was dedicated to educating women. In 1893, Grace passed her final examinations and scored the equivalent of a first-class degree. However, women were not awarded formal degrees at that time. In order to continue her studies, Grace had to go to Gottingen in Germany to study with Felix Klein. Women were not allowed to attend graduate school in England. Gottingen was one of the major mathematical centers in the world. Grace went on the attain the first woman to receive a doctorate in any field in Germany. While at Girton, Grace had a tutor by the name of William Young, whom she married the year after she received her Ph.D. at Gottingen. Grace and William spent the next 44 years together. They produced more than 200 mathematical papers and books, many of which were in William’s name. Grace had a very major role in producing these papers. William noted in an article in 1914 that he had discussed the major idea of the work with his wife, and Grace had elaborated on the argument and put it into publishable form. Grace produced many papers on her own despite the fact that her husband was away from the family for large parts of the year and she was left in Switzerland to take care of the children. She wrote a paper in 1915 on the foundations of calculus that won the Gamble Prize at Cambridge. She and her husband also published books on geometry and set theory.

Writing Activity Home Historical Mathematicians Writing Project Grades 5-12 Introduction: Small student groups will use the Internet and other traditional sources to research historically significant mathematicians, write a paper, and creatively present research in class. Prior Knowledge Research skills Paper Writing Skills Word Processing Skills Internet Site Location Skills Student Project Guidelines This in an integrated cooperative learning project for grades 5-12 which allows students to research through Internet sites and traditional methods a historically significant mathematician. Students research the mathematician's personal background and upbringing, education, and their significant contribution to mathematics. Students gain a clearer understanding of a great mathematical discovery and the person behind it. The last component is a creative class presentation/lecture by each group. Learning Advice: As groups work in class, monitor how the groups are working together. I suggest that a teacher schedule 1 or 2 short conferences with the groups to help keep the groups focused and on track. If computer access is limited, I suggest that teachers assign groups a block of time to begin.
