Abstract

Monografie vychází z dlouhodobého studia vývoje matematické komunity v českých zemích. Pojednává o komplikovaných, avšak inspirativních životních osudech dvanácti žen, které v letech 1900 až 1945 obhajovaly nebo obhájily doktorát z matematiky na některé z fakult pražských univerzit. Ačkoliv se další odborné matematické práci často téměř nevěnovaly, dokázaly to v době, která na ženy matematičky pohlížela s jistou nedůvěrou, neboť se mohly stát nepřehlédnutelnou konkurencí mužům matematikům, pokud by ovšem chtěly a měly větší odvahu čelit zakořeněným společenským stereotypům. V propracovaných studiích je ukázáno, z jakého sociálního prostředí tyto ženy pocházely, do jakého se provdaly, jaké měly kulturní, intelektuální a hmotné zázemí, jak je rodinné i společenské události motivovaly, ovlivňovaly a kultivovaly, jak žily, čemu se věnovaly, jaké měly zájmy, s jakými problémy se potýkaly, jaký byl jejich vztah k rodině, vlasti, víře, politice a co jim komplikovalo život. Připojeny jsou základní údaje o nejbližší rodině, studie doplňují reprodukce dobových dokumentů a fotografií umožňující přiblížit a dokreslit studované téma.

Abstract

This volume offers a unique collection of outstanding contributions from renowned women mathematicians who met in Cambridge for a conference under the auspices of European Women in Mathematics (EWM). These contributions serve as excellent surveys of their subject areas, including symplectic topology, combinatorics and number theory. The volume moreover sheds light on prominent women mathematicians who worked in Cambridge in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by providing an insightful historical introduction at the beginning of the volume. The volume concludes with short contributions from women mathematicians from across Europe working in various areas of mathematics ranging from group theory to magnetic fields.

Abstract

"Women Becoming Mathematicians looks at the lives and careers of thirty-six of the approximately two hundred women who earned Ph. D.'s in mathematics from American institutions from 1940 to 1959. During this period, American mathematical research enjoyed an unprecedented expansion, fueled by the technological successes of World War II and the postwar boom in federal funding for education in the sciences. Yet women's share of doctorates earned in mathematics in the United States reached an all-time low. This book explores the complex interplay between the personal and professional lives of those women who embarked on mathematical careers during this period, with a view to understanding how changes in American society during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s affected their career development and identities as mathematicians."--Jacket.

Abstract

Les « ordinateurs de couleur ». Tel était le descriptif de poste des mathématiciennes afro-américaines Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson et Christine Darden, employées à la NASA dans les années soixante. Armées de simples crayons, règles et calculatrices, ces quatre scientifiques ont permis la réussite de la mission de John Glenn en 1962 : il fut le premier astronaute américain en orbite, dix mois seulement après Youri Gagarine. Grâce à ces femmes, les Etats-Unis devaient prendre la tête de la course à la conquête spatiale. Pourtant, leurs noms sont restés inconnus du grand public pendant plus de cinquante ans. Dans une Amérique des années soixante rongée par la ségrégation raciale et le sexisme, leurs carrières ont été pour ainsi dire oblitérées.
