Sofia Kovalevskaya January 15, 1850 - February 10, 1891 Kovalevskaya Stamps issued in 1951 and 1996. Written by Becky Wilson, Class of 1997 (Agnes Scott College) An extraordinary woman, Sofia Kovalevskaya was not only a great mathematician, but also a writer and advocate of women's rights in the 19th century. It was her struggle to obtain the best education available which began to open doors at universities to women. In addition, her ground-breaking work in mathematics made her male counterparts reconsider their archaic notions of women's inferiority to men in such scientific arenas. Sofia Krukovsky Kovalevskaya was born in 1850. As the child of a Russian family of minor nobility, Sofia was raised in plush surroundings. She was not a typically happy child, though. She felt very neglected as the middle child in the family of a well admired, first-born daughter, Anya, and of the younger male heir, Fedya. For much of her childhood she was also under the care of a very strict governess who made it her personal duty to turn Sofia into a young lady. As a result, Sofia became fairly nervous and withdrawntraits which were evident throughout her lifetime (Perl 127-128). Sofia's exposure to mathematics began at a very young age. She claims to have studied her father's old calculus notes that were papered on her nursery wall in replacement for a shortage of wallpaper. Sofia credits her uncle Peter for first sparking her curiosity in mathematics. He took an interest in Sofia and made time to discuss numerous abstractions and mathematical concepts with her (Rappaport 564). When she was fourteen years old she taught herself trigonometry in order to understand the optics section of a physics book that she was reading. The author of the book and also her neighbor, Professor Tyrtov, was extremely impressed with her capabilities and convinced her father to allow her to go off to school in St. Petersburg to continue her studies (Rappaport 564).

She was born in Moscow, Russia, in 1850. As a young child Sofia Kovalevskaya was fascinated with the unusual wallpaper on the wall of a room on the family estate: the lecture notes of Mikhail Ostrogradsky on differential and integral calculus. Although her father provided her with private tutoring including calculus at age 15 he would not allow her to study abroad for further education, and Russian universities would not then admit women. But Sofia Kovalevskaya wanted to continue her studies in mathematics, so she found a solution: an amenable young student of paleontology, Vladimir Kovalensky, who entered into a marriage of convenience with her. In 1869, they left Russia with her sister, Anyuta. Sonja went to Heidelberg, Germany, Kovalensky went to Vienna, Austria, and Anyuta went to Paris, France.

Sofia Kovalevskaya made valuable contributions to the theory of differential equations. Sofia Kovalevsky was the middle child of Vasily Korvin-Krukovsky, an artillery general, and Velizaveta Shubert, both well-educated members of the Russian nobility. Sofia was educated by tutors and governess's in St. Petersburg and joined her family's social circle which included the author Dostoevsky. Sofia was attracted to mathematics at a very young age. She was greatly influenced by her uncle Pyotr Vasilievich Krokovsky, who greatly respected mathematics and often spoke about the subject in her presence. When Sofia was eleven years old, the walls of her room were papered with pages of lecture notes on differential and integral analysis by the Russian mathematician Ostrogradski. In addition to the information received from her uncle, the wallpaper served as Sofia's primary introduction to calculus. However, it was under the family's tutor, Joseph Ignatevich Malevich, that Sofia formally studied mathematics. Malevich tutored Sofia until the end of 1867. In 1869, Sofia travelled to Heidelberg to study mathematics and the natural sciences at the university, only to discover that women were not permitted to study. Eventually, she persuaded university authorities to allow her to attend lectures and seminars in physics and mathematics under Gustave R. Krichhoff for three semesters.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Sofia Kovalevskaya Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya (born January 15 in Moscow , died February 10 in Stockholm .) was a Russian Mathematician and a student of Karl Weierstrass in Berlin . In she was appointed professor at Stockholm University , the first woman in Europe to become a professor. Contributed to the understanding of partial differential equations. Essentially completed the study of rotating solids, applying the then-new theory of Abelian functions (and thus "justifying" the enormous effort that was put into the theory). Her father was Vasily Vasilievich Kriukovskoi (1800-1874), artillery officer, of Polish descent. He managed to convince the Russians to list him as descended of aristocracy, a Hungarian king in particular; and in was permitted to change surname to Korvin-Krukovsky. Sophia had a crush on Fyodor Dostoevsky and practiced his favourite piano work, Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, to get his attention, but he was focussed on the older sister Anna and he very probably proposed to her. (here on has some gaps i'll fill shortly) There seem to have been several roots to Sophia's mathematical bent. Some came from her father, accidentally; he had studied calculus in the army, and when they ran short of proper wallpaper for one house, used his old notes instead. Sophia spent many hours of childhood scrutinising the strange scribbles. Something of it seems to have stuck for when she later took calculus under ... it came to her very quickly, as if it had always been there.

Sonia amaba desde niña la lectura y la poesía, se sentía poeta en su interior. Durante su niñez, además de su hermana, dos de sus tíos influyeron notablemente en su vida. Uno de ellos, un auténtico amante de la lectura y aunque no era matemático le apasionaba esta ciencia; su otro tío le enseñaba ciencias y biología. A los trece años empezó a mostrar muy buenas cualidades para el álgebra pero su padre, a quien le horrorizaban las mujeres sabias, decidió frenar los estudios de su hija. Aún así Sonia siguió estudiando por su cuenta con libros de álgebra, y aquello que nunca había estudiado lo fue deduciendo poco a poco. Sonia a partir de los conocimientos que ya tenía, explicó y analizó por si misma lo que era el concepto de seno tal y como había sido inventado originalmente. Un profesor descubrió las facultades de Sonia, y habló con su padre para recomendarle que facilitara los estudios a su hija. Al cabo de varios años su padre accedió y Sonia comenzó a tomar clases particulares.

She noticed that certain things on the sheets she had heard mentioned by her uncle. Studying the wallpaper was Sofia's introduction to calculus. In 1871 Kovalevskaya moved to Berlin to study with Weierstrass, Königsberger's teacher. Despite the efforts of Weierstrass and his colleagues the senate refused to permit her to attend courses at the university. Ironically this actually helped her since over the next four years Weierstrass tutored her privately. By the spring of 1874, Kovalevskaya had completed three papers. Weierstrass deemed each of these worthy of a doctorate. The three papers were on

Sofia Kovalevskaya Q: Today we have the privilege of speaking with renowned mathematician Sofia A: Yes, I suppose so. But when all was said and done, I believe I did fairly well for myself. Q: I agree. Now, would you like to tell us a little about your background? Q: At what point did mathematics begin to interest you? Q: Your father supported this? Q: Could you briefly try to explain the theories in these three works? A: Yes, I got a degree of a Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, summa cum laude, based on my three papers, without any examination or public defense. I was also able to read my paper on abelian integrals to the Sixth Congress of Natural Sciences in Petersburg, in 1880. In 1883, I was finally offered a position by my friend Gosta Mittag-Leffler at the University of Stockholm, in Sweden. I also won the Prix Bordin, which was a contest for solving the problem of the differential equations involved in the rotation of a solid body around a fixed point, which you know I was already actively involved in. That was very hard however, as by that time my husband had committed suicide and my sister Anuita died of complications from an operation. The deadline of the contest drove me forward. Luckily, mathematics was more of a release at that point than my work. Q: Well, thank you for your time, Sofia. It was nice to speak with such an example of a woman pioneering in the male-dominated world of educated 19th century Russia.

She started studying mathematics books as a girl, encouraged by her paternal uncle Pyotr, but against the will of her father who, however, soon became aware of her remarkable talent and finally allowed her to take private lessons. Born in a strictly patriarchal society, she had to undergo a fictitious marriage to gain the freedom to travel, so in 1868 she married Vladimir Kovalevsky, a paleontologist and supporter of Darwinism, who had a troubled professional life and later committed suicide. In Heidelberg, Kovalevskaya received a special authorization to attend the lectures without being officially a student, since matriculation was not permitted for women. When she decided to move to Berlin to make the acquaintance of Weierstrass , she came upon even stricter rules, and Weierstrass had to teach her privately. She soon became Weierstrass's favorite pupil, as well as his friend. In this period, she wrote three mathematical papers, for which she was awarded a doctorate
