This site, created under the direction of mathematics professor Larry
Riddle, is part of "an on-going project by students in mathematics classes
at Agnes Scott College ... to illustrate the numerous achievements of women
in the field of mathematics." There are currently over 130 biographical
essays available, from Maria Gaetana Agnesi to Lai-Sang Young, many of
which contain photos and references for both print and electronic sources.
The essays are accessible by browsing either the alphabetical or
chronological index. Two other sections of interest list the first Ph.D.'s
in mathematics obtained by women before 1930 and a list of prizes, awards,
and honors granted to women mathematicians. [AG]
