Emmy Noether (1882-1935) Noether was a German mathematician who made significant contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics. Her work on the conservation laws of nature revolutionized the field.
Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017) Mirzakhani was an Iranian mathematician who worked on hyperbolic geometry and was the first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in mathematics.
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) Although best known for her work in nursing, Nightingale was also a notable statistician and mathematician. She contributed to the development of statistical graphics and pie charts.
Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891) Kovalevsky was a Russian mathematician who made significant contributions to the study of partial differential equations and mechanics. She was the first woman to obtain a doctorate in mathematics.
Grace Hopper (1906-1992) Hopper was a pioneer in computer science and invented the first compiler, a program that translates instructions into code that can be read by a computer.
Katherine Johnson (1918-2020) An African American mathematician, Johnson calculated trajectories and launch windows for NASA's early space missions, including the first manned mission to the moon.
