Women in Mathematics – The Addition of Difference de Claudia Henrion

Women in Mathematics – The Addition of Difference: Race, Gender, and Science

Autor Claudia Henrion
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 1997
Mathematics is often described as the purest of the sciences, the least tainted by subjective or cultural influences. Theoretically, the only requirement for a life of mathematics is mathematical ability. And yet we see very few women mathematicians. Why?Based upon a series of ten intensive interviews with prominent women mathematicians throughout the United States, this book investigates the role of gender in the complex relationship between mathematician, the mathematical community, and mathematics itself.

Recenzii

'Mathematicians do their best work in their youth'; 'mathematicians work in complete isolation'; 'mathematics and politics don't mix.'These and other myths are discussed and debunked--in both theoretical and concrete terms--in the particular context of the role of women in mathematics. Henrion studies the nature of the participation of women in mathematical research and surrounding issues of gender and race by weaving her narrative around detailed profiles of nine respected women mathematicians (including two African American women). The individual biographies themselves make for enthralling, often inspiring, reading; combined with Henrion's careful, generally evenhanded, and tightly conceived commentary, this volume should be compelling reading for women mathematics students and professionals. A fine addition to the literature on women in science and, as it is written by a mathematical 'insider, ' it is all the more likely to receive attention by the mathematics community. Highly recommended. Undergraduates through faculty.--S. J. Colley, Oberlin College"Choice" (01/01/1998)
