Description
Book SynopsisThis 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.
