The Exciting Life and Work of Sonja Kovalevskya




Abstract : Sonja Kovalevskya was the first woman to earn a doctarate in the 19th century and the first female professor in Europe in the 19th century. She achieved all of this without being permitted to attend classes and while overcoming other restrictions placed on her by society. We'll explore both Sonja Kovaleskya's exciting life and her mathematics.
