Mathematics

Updates on my research and expository papers, discussion of open problems, and other maths-related topics. By Terence Tao

William H. Richardson is currently working on a Math-History timeline for use by his students and other interested parties. It is a two column listing with mathematics related events on the left and historical events on the right. The selections are his (many selected from the timeline given in A History of Mathematics by Carl Boyer) and are not intended to be all-inclusive. Events that are in a grey box will pop up a brief paragraph about the event when your mouse hovers over it. These are indeed brief and are intended to spur the reader's interest to seek out further information about the person or event. Often individual mathematicians are introduced by something they wrote or did.

Welcome to the web site for biographies of women in mathematics. These pages are part of an on-going project at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia, to illustrate the numerous achievements of women in the field of mathematics. Here you can find biographical essays or comments on the women mathematicians profiled on this site, as well as additional resources about women in mathematics. Each time this page is reloaded, a randomly selected photo is displayed to the left (if Javascript is enabled). Click on the image to go to the profile of that woman.

MacTutor is a free online resource containing biographies of more than 3000 mathematicians and over 2000 pages of essays and supporting materials. MacTutor is constantly expanding and developing.
