Extractions: Welcome to the web page for biographies of women in mathematics. These pages are part of an on-going project by students in mathematics classes at Agnes Scott College, in Atlanta, Georgia, to illustrate the numerous achievements of women in the field of mathematics. There are biographical essays or comments on most of the women mathematicians and some photos (which look best at more than 256 colors). Our goal is for this list to continue to expand, and for more biographies to be completed. We also welcome contributions of biographical information or essays from those outside Agnes Scott College. If you are interested in contributing an essay, please send your contribution to Larry Riddle . Comments, suggestions, or corrections can also be sent to this address. To increase awareness of women's ongoing contributions to the mathematical sciences, the Association of Women in Mathematics is sponsoring an essay contest for biographies of contemporary women mathematicians and statisticians in academic, industrial, and government careers. This contest is open to students in the following categories: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, and College Undergraduate. At least one winning submission will be chosen from each category. Winners will receive a prize, and their essays will be published online at the

Women In Math Project
Extensive collection of women mathematicians' biographies, and links to their professional associations.
http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~wmnmath/

Extractions: Eugene, OR 97403 This Web site is a collection of publications about gender and mathematics, feminist theories of science, selected publications on gender and science, and other related topics. The site is divided into 20 separate subsections and has a Search engine. This Web site is a collection of biographies of women mathematical scientists. Biographies have been combined from several extant Web sites. An icon associated to the site of origin for each sketch follows the name of the featured scientist. This Web site is a collection of links to responses to the remarks made by Harvard President Lawrence Summers about why there are so few women in science. This Web site provides links to other sites of interest to students and academicians in mathematics and short descriptions of what is available at those sites. This Web site contains information and links to informational sites on job, grant, and scholarship opportunities for women in mathematics. This site contains information about upcoming conferences, workshops and programs about and for women in math.

Mathematics fields include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, number theory, advanced algebra and topology. Alphabetical Recent Top 10 Women in Math History Mathematics as a field of science or philosophy was largely closed to women before the twentieth century. However, from ancient times through the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, a few women have achieved notably in mathematics. Here are ten women of note in early math their life stories and their achievements documented on this site. Maria Agnesi Oldest of 21 children and a child prodigy who studied languages and math, she wrote a textbook to explain math to her brothers which became a noted textbook on mathematics.
