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...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.. | 出版日期 | Book 2020Latest edition | 关键词 | Women mathematicians; Sophie Germain Primes; Chladni’s plate experiments; Fermat’s Last Theorem; Number | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-38375-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-38377-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-38375-6Series ISSN 2365-0613 Series E-ISSN 2365-0621 | issn_series | 2365-0613 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
