african mathematicians African mathematicians have made many contributions in mathematics and science. Many times, these mathematicians had to overcome great obstacles. In class, we learned about four of these mathematicians; Hypatia,Thomas Fuller, Benjamin Banneker and Evelyn Boyd Granville. Hypatia, an Egyptian by origin, lived in Alexandria around 300 AD. She was the daughter of mathematician and philosopher Theon. As head of the Platonist school of Alexandria, she was identified by Christians as a pagan. As riots broke out in Alexandria between Christian and non-Christian groups, Hypatia became the focal point of the controversy. Because Hypatia refused to convert to Christianity she was murdered in 415 AD by a group of Christian fanatics. She developed ideas about conic sections and wrote commentaries on Diophantus's Arithmetica. She also wrote in Apollonius Conics about dividing cones into different parts by a plane. With her work in this important book, she helped make the concepts of conics easier to understand. Hypatia was the first woman to have such a great impact on the survival of early mathematics. Although all of her work is lost, the titles and references survive to this day.

51. Famous Mathematicians evelyn Boyd granville was brought up in the African American community inWashington, DC by her mother. granville wrote http://www.liz.richards.btinternet.co.uk/granville.htm

Evelyn Boyd Granville (1924 - ) Evelyn Boyd Granville was brought up in the African American community in Washington, D.C by her mother. Granville wrote :- "As a child growing up in the thirties in Washington, D.C., I was aware that segregation placed many limitations on Negroes, ... However, daily one came in contact with Negroes who had made a place for themselves in society; we heard about and read about individuals whose achievements were contributing to the good of all people. These individuals, men and women, served as our role models; we looked up to them and we set out goals to be like them. We accepted education as the means to rise above the limitations that a prejudiced society endeavoured to place upon us. " In 1949, Granville beacame the second Black American woman to be awarded a Ph.D. in mathematics. Euphemia Lofton-Haynes was the first and Marjorie Lee Browne the third. Granville spent much of her life working for IBM as a member of the group responsible for writing computer programs to track the paths of vehicles in space.

Sonya Kovalevsky Day About the Speakers Keynote Speaker: Dr. Evelyn Granville. Evelyn Boyd Granville was born in Washington, D.C. and attended Dunbar High School, a segregated high school at the time. Her interest in mathematics was encouraged by two mathematics teachers, Ulysses Basset (a graduate of Yale) and Mary Cromwell (graduate of the University of Pennsylvania). Granville attended Smith College on a partial scholarship. In 1945 she graduated summa cum laude and elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Granville worked with Einar Hille, a distinguished mathematician in the field of functional analysis, as her Ph.D. faculty advisor at Yale University. Evelyn Granville received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale in 1949, the same year as another woman mathematician, Marjorie Lee Browne received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan. Granville and Browne represented the first two Black women to receive doctorates in Mathematics in the United States. From 1956 to 1960, Granville worked at IBM on the Project Vanguard and Project Mercury space programs. While there she wrote computer programs to track the paths of vehicles in space. After that, she returned to teaching in 1967 at California State University in Los Angeles. She also performed supplementary math work in local elementary schools while at CSU. Granville collaborated with Jason Frand to write a textbook for college courses teaching math to prospective elementary school teachers. Theory and Applications of Mathematics for Teachers

Hypatia - Math Martyr Top There is little information on Hypatia, but what is known of this ancient mathematician certainly indicates that she was greatly regarded as a teacher and a scholar. The oldest accounts of Hypatia are in the Suda , a 10th-century encyclopedia alphabetically arranged and drawing on earlier sources. Other facts also come from the writings of the early Christian church, preserved letters from one of her pupils, Synesius, and the Latin compilation known as the Patrologiae Graecae Hypatia, born around 370 A.D., was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated mathematicians and philosophers in Alexandria, Egypt. Theon, a well-known scholar and mathematics professor at the University of Alexandria, surrounded Hypatia with an environment of knowledge. It is said that Theon disciplined Hypatia not only in her education, but with a "physical routine that ensured a healthy body as well as a highly-functional mind" (3). There is evidence that Hypatia was regarded as physically beautiful and wore distinctive academic apparel.
