Sofia Kovalevskaya's father was in the Russian Army and her mother was from a German family with many scholars; her maternal grandfather and great-grandfather were both mathematicians. She was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1850. As a young child Sofia Kovalevskaya was fascinated with the unusual wallpaper on the wall of a room on the family estate: the lecture notes of Mikhail Ostrogradsky on differential and integral calculus. Although her father provided her with private tutoring including calculus at age 15 he would not allow her to study abroad for further education, and Russian universities would not then admit women. But Sofia Kovalevskaya wanted to continue her studies in mathematics, so she found a solution: an amenable young student of paleontology, Vladimir Kovalensky, who entered into a marriage of convenience with her. In 1869, they left Russia with her sister, Anyuta. Sonja went to Heidelberg, Germany, Kovalensky went to Vienna, Austria, and Anyuta went to Paris, France.

Sofia Kovalevskaya made valuable contributions to the theory of differential equations. Sofia Kovalevsky was the middle child of Vasily Korvin-Krukovsky, an artillery general, and Velizaveta Shubert, both well-educated members of the Russian nobility. Sofia was educated by tutors and governess's in St. Petersburg and joined her family's social circle which included the author Dostoevsky. Sofia was attracted to mathematics at a very young age. She was greatly influenced by her uncle Pyotr Vasilievich Krokovsky, who greatly respected mathematics and often spoke about the subject in her presence. When Sofia was eleven years old, the walls of her room were papered with pages of lecture notes on differential and integral analysis by the Russian mathematician Ostrogradski. In addition to the information received from her uncle, the wallpaper served as Sofia's primary introduction to calculus. However, it was under the family's tutor, Joseph Ignatevich Malevich, that Sofia formally studied mathematics. Malevich tutored Sofia until the end of 1867. In 1869, Sofia travelled to Heidelberg to study mathematics and the natural sciences at the university, only to discover that women were not permitted to study. Eventually, she persuaded university authorities to allow her to attend lectures and seminars in physics and mathematics under Gustave R. Krichhoff for three semesters.

20. Ward Melville HS - Kovalevskaya
Sofia Kovalevskaya. Q Today we have the privilege of speaking with renowned Vasi…Vasilyev…VASILYEVNA KOVALEVSKAYA. Sorry about that Sofia.
http://www.3villagecsd.k12.ny.us/wmhs/Departments/Math/OBrien/kovalevskaya.html
Sofia Kovalevskaya Q: Today we have the privilege of speaking with renowned mathematician Sofia
A: Yes, I suppose so. But when all was said and done, I believe I did fairly well for myself.
Q: I agree. Now, would you like to tell us a little about your background?
Q: At what point did mathematics begin to interest you?
Q: Your father supported this?
Q: Could you briefly try to explain the theories in these three works?
A: Yes, I got a degree of a Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, summa cum laude, based on my three papers, without any examination or public defense. I was also able to read my paper on abelian integrals to the Sixth Congress of Natural Sciences in Petersburg, in 1880. In 1883, I was finally offered a position by my friend Gosta Mittag-Leffler at the University of Stockholm, in Sweden. I also won the Prix Bordin, which was a contest for solving the problem of the differential equations involved in the rotation of a solid body around a fixed point, which you know I was already actively involved in. That was very hard however, as by that time my husband had committed suicide and my sister Anuita died of complications from an operation. The deadline of the contest drove me forward. Luckily, mathematics was more of a release at that point than my work.
Q: Well, thank you for your time, Sofia. It was nice to speak with such an example of a woman pioneering in the male-dominated world of educated 19th century Russia.
