Math and many of the sciences seem to be traditionally male dominated professions. This doesn’t mean that only men have contributed to these fields. Below is a short list of notable female mathematicians throughout history. There are many more and please let us know of an equally notable female mathematician we have missed from the list below. We will definitely update our list. Below is a brief introduction to each of these women. While each received many awards and held important positions in the academic and mathematical community, their greatest impact was that they preserved in a predominantly male discipline helping to pave the way for the next generation of female mathematicians. More can be found out about each at the given reference.

Math and many of the sciences seem to be traditionally male dominated professions. This doesn’t mean that only men have contributed to these fields. While researching female mathematicians in history, I came across more that I realized. So many so, one post is not sufficient. Below is a short list of notable female mathematicians throughout history. There are many more and another second short list of notable female mathematicians will follow. Below is a brief introduction to some of these mathematicians, in no particular order. While each received many awards and held important positions in the academic and mathematical community, their greatest impact was that they preserved in a predominantly male discipline helping to pave the way for the next generation of female mathematicians.
Let’s look at the numbers of women studying mathematics and STEM related subjects. We’ll also look women in STEM related jobs, how many, how much they earn and some of the possible reasons why there are not more than there are. We will also look at some positives. Women in STEM careers do earn 35% more than women in non-STEM careers.
There have been a few movies about mathematics and mathematicians in the past few years. I wanted to put a list of movies about mathematics and science together. There are more than I thought and this list isn’t anywhere close to being complete. A short list of movies about real life mathematicians, such as Hidden Figures, as well as dramas about the life of mathematicians, Proof, and the way in which mathematics has been applied in real life, Moneyball.
Staying home to lessen the probability of contracting the coronavirus through social distancing is great. However, the side effects of social distancing are real and can be lasting long after social distancing has been relaxed. Get outside, get fresh air, move around, play games, pick up the phone and connect with people, make the effort. Don’t leave people alone regardless of what mood they may be in.
Online tutoring, online teaching, online everything is all the rage now with the age of social distancing upon us. We outline how Raisemymarks undertakes an online tutoring session.
With social distancing becoming the norm, everyone is flocking to online tools, resources and services now. This including tutoring. Finding the write tools for teaching online and in particular teaching mathematics and other symbolic subjects online, is challenging. An interactive, online whiteboard is a great start. We have a short review of some of the online whiteboards we have come across and decided worth looking into.
