It is the "first and best known" of several organizations devoted to women in mathematics in Europe. [72] 1987: Eileen Poiani became the first female president of Pi Mu Epsilon. [73] 1988: American mathematician Doris Schattschneider became the first woman to present the Mathematical Association of America’s J. Sutherland Frame Lectures. [30 ...
While the timeline primarily focuses on women involved with natural sciences such as astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics, it also includes women from the social sciences (e.g. sociology, psychology) and the formal sciences (e.g. mathematics, computer science), as well as notable science educators and medical scientists. The chronological ...
The 35-year-old Ghanaian "finds joy in solving puzzles and mathematical questions" and hopes her 2024 win will open up the world of mathematics to other African women - who have traditionally been ...
She observed that radioactive recoil, which had been discovered by Harriet Brooks in 1904, could be a new way of detecting radioactive substances. They soon discovered two more new isotopes, bismuth-211 and thallium-207. [31] [32] [33] Meitner was particularly interested in beta particles. By this time, they were known to be electrons. Alpha ...
