23. The Woman Behind The Matrix: Olga Taussky-Todd One such notable woman is olga tausskytodd. At an early age, she fought for aneducation when most women were being kept silent and at home. http://www.mathsci.appstate.edu/~sjg/womeninmath/michelle/intro.html

The Woman Behind the Matrix: Olga Taussky-Todd By: Michelle Harrity Brewer Introduction In the fall of 1999, I participated in Women in Mathematics, a class taught at Appalachian State University by Dr. Sarah Greenwald. We took a comprehensive look of the role of women in the history of mathematics. We analyzed gender and equity issues, and how they play out in the classroom. Women are the unheard voice of history. Today, they are still unequally represented in the public realm, especially in the field of mathematics. This paper, and those of my colleagues, is one effort to bridge the gap. One such notable woman is Olga Taussky-Todd. At an early age, she fought for an education when most women were being kept silent and at home. Mathematics paid her way through life, brought her to her husband, and sent her around the world and back. She made a lasting effect in the field of matrix theory and number theory. Her work led her to help in the war effort, and to inspire a generation of students. Olga said that there was one thing that sparked her interest in math and kept it there, the interconnectedness of numbers. She still connects us today.

The Return of Women of Mathematics Once again this term I hope to motivate and enlighten you with the tales of women mathematicians. We begin this term's series on a positive note. The story of Olga Taussky-Todd is not one of discrimination and sexism, but of a brilliant woman whose life was filled with inspired mathematics, and wonderful collaborations. Taussky contributed to many areas of number theory and matrix theory, and did much fundamental work on Hilbert's 19th problem on sums of squares. Based on this thesis she was invited to Gottingen to edit Hilbert's work. While at Gottingen she was kept busy with teaching duties. She was able to work with many mathematicians here, including Emmy Noether. Political tensions arose around this time, and like many other Jewish intellectuals, she left Germany. She returned to Vienna briefly to work again with Hahn and Menger, and subsequently worked briefly at Bryn Mawr College. There she was reunited with Emmy Noether. In 1935 she returned to Europe as part of a science fellowship. However, no one shared her interests at Girton College Cambridge. The female head of Girton college insisted that students avoid working under Taussky. In her opinion, it would be damaging to their career to have a woman supervisor. Two years later she succeeded in obtaining a junior level teaching position at Westfield College. It was there that she began a collaborative relationship with John Todd. They were married in 1938. In 1943 Taussky took on a research position in aerodynamics with the Ministry of Aircraft production in the ``Flutter Group'' at the National Physical Laboratory. The problem reduced to stability problems of a certain matrix. It was there that Taussky developed interest in matrix theory. In 1947 she and her husband accepted positions at the National Bureau of Standards in the United States. During this time she wrote several papers and lectured at Caltech.

31. Index.html Correspondence with olga tausskytodd Since David Hilbert (1862-1943) could notbe consulted, Andrew Odlyzko to olga taussky-todd, January 19, 1982 http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/polya/

Andrew Odlyzko: Correspondence about the origins of the Hilbert-Polya Conjecture The Hilbert-Polya Conjecture says that the Riemann Hypothesis is true because non-trivial zeros of the zeta function correspond (in a certain canonical way) to the eigenvalues of some positive operator. This conjecture is often regarded as the most promising way to prove the Riemann Hypothesis. Very little is known about its origins. Mathematical folk wisdom has usually attributed its formulation to Hilbert and Polya, independently, some time in the 1910s. However, there appears to be no published mention of it before Hugh Montgomery's 1973 paper on the pair correlation of zeros of the zeta function. Enclosed here are copies of some letters that attempted to trace the history of the Hilbert-Polya Conjecture. The first letter from Polya appears to present the only documented evidence about the origins of the conjecture. Correspondence with George Polya: The two letters by Polya (1887-1985) were written when he was 94. According to N. G. de Bruijn, at that stage in his life, Polya usually dictated letters to his wife, and only signed them himself. The fact that he wrote both letters out in his own handwriting suggests he was very interested in the subject. The account of the formulation of the conjecture in the first letter is consistent with what Polya had told Dennis Hejhal in a personal conversation. Andrew Odlyzko to George Polya, December 8, 1981

search: Congrats, Jack! Reminiscences and Appreciation Philip J. Davis A two-day conference, Numerical Analysis, Linear Algebra and Computations, was held at the California Institute of Technology, May 16-17, to celebrate the 90th birthday of John Todd. Philip Davis, whose association with Todd dates back to the time just after World War II, looked back on those early days of computing and numerical analysis in the first invited talk at the conference. What follows is an adapted version of that talk. We gathered in Pasadena to honor a nonagenarian of international reputation who has devoted at least eighty of his ninety years to the cause of mathematics and to its applications. There is an old proverb that asks: "Who is honored?" The answer given is: "He who honors other people." So I was greatly honored by the opportunity to pay tribute to John Todd. It is by no means an easy matter to select out the high points of a long profes-sional career, but for this occasion it seemed important that I make the attempt. Jack Todd was born in 1911. He received his BSc at Queens College Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1931. During World War II, he was with the Mine Design Department in Portsmouth, England, and later with the Admiralty Computing Service in London. In 1939, just before the war began, Jack and Olga Taussky were married. In 1946, he gave his first course in numerical mathematics at King's College London. In 1949, John Curtiss hired him to head the Computation Laboratory at the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) in Washington, and from 1954 to 1957 he was chief of the Numerical Analysis Section. He moved to Caltech as a professor of mathematics in 1957 and has been there since that time.

Search MAA Online MAA Home Ivars Peterson's MathTrek August 16, 1999 Matrices, Circles, and Eigenthings Last month, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, Calif., hosted the Olga Taussky Todd Celebration of Careers in Mathematics for Women. The conference showcased the research of outstanding women in mathematics and highlighted various issues of concern to young women entering the mathematical research communty. The career of Olga Taussky Todd (1906-1995) served as a worthy model for the participants. Taussky was born in Olmütz, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now in the Czech Republic. As a child, she loved writing, especially essays, poems, and music. In high school, her interests turned to science, particularly astronomy, then finally to mathematics. Taussky studied at the University of Vienna, focusing on number theory in her doctoral dissertation. By 1937, she was working at the University of London, where she met and married mathematical analyst John Todd. Though Taussky's main interest was initially number theory, she was to become what she later termed "a torchbearer" for another branch of mathematics known as matrix theory.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS Question 1 Olga Taussky was born in 1906 in the present day Czech Republic. Her family placed great value in her education and that of her two sisters. Olga's father wished that his daughters would follow artistic careers. Olga excelled in essay writing, grammar, music composition and in her free time she wrote poetry. Eventually all three girls ended up in science. Olga's direction in mathematics was beginning to take form in her high school years. She remembers a significant moment during a conversation with a family friend - a woman much older than Olga - who had hoped to study mathematics: "That was more than I could take. In a flash I saw myself decades older saying exactly the same words to a young woman. It seemed unbearable."
