Girton College, Cambridge
[Categories: Colleges of the University of Cambridge]
Girton College was established on October 16, 1869 by Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon, as the first residential College for women in England. It was called the College for Women, and was located at Benslow House, (Click link for more info and facts about Hitchin) Hitchin , a town in (A county in southern England) Hertfordshire , England. In 1872 the present site, located about two and a half miles northwest of the centre of (A city in eastern England on the River Cam; site of Cambridge University) Cambridge , next to the village of Girton was purchased; the College was then renamed Girton College, and opened at the new location in October of 1873. Over the years, many additions have considerably expanded the size of the college, most currently the hotly debated library extension. Girton also proudly houses an Egyptian mummy named "Hermione".
On April 27, 1948, women were admitted to full membership of the (Click link for more info and facts about University of Cambridge) University of Cambridge , and Girton College received the status of a College of the University. However, to remember the time when women were not allowed to obtain degrees of the University of Cambridge, no gowns are worn during the college feast, when students in their final year are celebrated.

John Baez
Here's a book I've been reading lately: 1) Kenneth S. Brown, Cohomology of Groups, Graduate Texts in Mathematics 182, Springer, 1982. I should have read this book a long time ago - but I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I do now. All sorts of things I struggled to learn for years are neatly laid out here. Best of all, he comes right out and admits from the start that the cohomology of groups is really a branch of topology , instead of hiding this fact like some people do. This is something every mathematician should know: you can take any group and turn it into a space, thus "reducing" group theory to topology. In particular, if you have any trick for telling spaces apart, like "cohomology theory", you can apply it to groups as well. Of course topology is harder than group theory in many ways - hence my quotes around "reducing". Indeed, algebraic topology was invented as a trick for reducing topology to group theory! But, the bridge turns out to go both ways, and there's a lot of profitable traffic in both directions. Ultimately, as James Dolan likes to point out, it's all about the unity of mathematics. Topology is about our concept of

Justus Grassmann (1779-1852), father of Hermann Grassmann, was mathematics teacher at the Gymnasium in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland). His work focused on combinatorial geometry. In Zahlenlehre (1827) he articulated his ideas about the foundations of mathematics, with the concept of construction (synthesis) as its basis. Raina, Dhruv, ‘Mathematical foundations of a cultural project or Ramchandra’s treatise "Through the unsentimentalised light of mathematics"’, Historia mathematica
The 19th century witnessed a number of projects of cultural rapprochement between the knowledge traditions of Eastr and West. In his Treatise on the problems of maxima and minima , the Indian polymath Ramchundra tried to render elementary calculus amenable to an Indian audience in the indigenous mathematical idiom. The "vocation of failure" of the book is discussed within the context of encounter and the pedagogy of mathematics.

Reviewed by : Marge Murray, Book Review Editor, Department of Mathematics, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0123; email: murray@calvin.math.vt.edu It has long been observed that women scientists and mathematicians who marry tend to marry other scientists and mathematicians. In an attempt to reconcile the personal and the professional, women's careers have often been subordinated to their husbands' or to the needs of a household and children. But the historian Margaret Rossiter has observed that in earlier times - particularly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when women's opportunities in science and mathematics were far more restricted than today - a woman scientist's marriage to a colleague occasionally enhanced her career and enabled her to make more creative contributions than she might otherwise. In fact, the most distinguished American women scientists in the first half of the twentieth century were disproportionately those married to other scientists. In some cases the woman gained greater access to facilities and communities in science through her connection to her husband. In some cases the wife was able to make contributions because she was accepted as her husband's assistant in research. And in some rare but notable cases, the woman formed a truly collaborative partnership with her husband and together they made major contributions to science for which both were recognized and rewarded.

Mary Ellen Rudin Paracompactness Louisville, Kentucky 1984 Previous Index Next MARY ELLEN RUDIN is a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she held the Grace Chisholm Young and Hilidale Professorships. She was born in 1924 in Hillsboro, Texas. She completed both her undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Texas, where she worked with R. L. Moore. She was also greatly influenced by F. B. Jones. Afler receiving her PhD in 1949, Rudin taught at Duke University and then went with her husband, mathematician Walter Rudin, to the University of Rochester, and later to the University of Wisconsin. There she was a lecturer until 1971, when she became a full professor. Rudin's primary research area is set-theoretic topology, and she is particularly well known for her ability to construct counterexamples. Her Noether Lecture discussed several set-theoretic questions related to paracompactness. Metrizability in a topological space provides a great deal of structure: a metric space is, for example, paracompact. But if one does not require metrizability, and instead asks to what extent normality (assuming all spaces are Hausdorff) achieves the structure of paracompactness, one discovers a very complex world of counterexamples whose product with the closed unit interval is not normal. It is undecidable in Zermel-Frankel set theory whether there is a perfectly normal nonmetrizable manifold, and the question of whether every normal Moore space is metrizable has a more complex, unsatisfactory answer. Rudin's Noether Lecture explored these and similar problems in nonmetrizable topological spaces.

This article chronicles the struggle in nineteenth-century England for women to be admitted to university mathematical examinations and to take degrees. By 1880, a campaign had "gained the girls permission to sit at the same examinations as the men (in different rooms, of course)." In that year, Charlotte Agnes Scott became the first woman wrangler by placing eighth in the Mathematical Tripos. The omission of her name in the official list because of her gender caused a public uproar and led to a petition for women's educational rights that had more than 10,000 signatures. In the 1890's, both Grace Chisholm Young and Phillipa Fawcett were recorded as placing "above the Senior Wrangler" in the Tripos examinations. All three ofthese women went on to distinguished careers: Scott at Bryn Mawr, Young (with her husband and former tutor W. H. Young) at Cambridge, and Fawcett in London. PR

But it should always be insisted that a mathematical subject is not to be considered exhausted until it has become intuitively evident... Felix Klein [1893:243]
INTRODUCTION
I
t is my privilege to teach geometry to artists. Until recently, I have offered one elective per semester to undergraduates through the liberal arts department of a small art institute. The courses count as science distribution requirements for a bachelor of fine arts degree. Students are drawn from schools of painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, illustration, and new media. My best students are bright, which is to say open to being influenced, tenacious which is to say requiring clear explanations and tough-minded which is to say they will not be patronized. Five students like this in a class of twenty is a joy. I had such a class the last semester I taught. The courses I teach are all designed to introduce scientific ideas to arts students through the visualizations that are such an important part of discourse in science. I describe the intellectual context, define selected concepts using geometry (classically, a liberal art) and introduce elementary mathematical formulaeall relying on graphic visualizations to make fundamental ideas clear. My goal is to provide a means by which visually sophisticated persons may think
