Forty-nine leading experts in the field introduce and explore research which crosses the traditional boundary between physical and human geography.

Unlike her female predecessors and contemporaries, Sophie Germain was an impressive mathematician and made lasting contributions to both number theory and the theories of plate vibrations and elasticity. She was able to walk with ease across the bridge between the fields of pure mathematics and engineering physics. Though isolated and snubbed by her peers, Sophie Germain was the first woman to win the prize of mathematics from the French Academy of Sciences. She is the only woman who contributed to the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem. Sophie Germain – Revolutionary Mathematician paints a rich portrait of the brilliant and complex woman, including the mathematics she developed, her associations with Gauss, Legendre, and other leading researchers, and the tumultuous times in which she lived. In this unique biography, Dora Musielak has done the impossible―she has chronicled Sophie Germain’s brilliance through her life and work in mathematics, in a way that is simultaneously informative, comprehensive, and accurate.Springer Biographies,2365-0613MathematicsHistoryPhysicsAcousticsHistory of Mathematical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Acousticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21069Mathematics.History.Physics.Acoustics.History of Mathematical Sciences.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Acoustics.510.9Musielak Doraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut880816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483748903321Sophie Germain2073384UNINA
