Sofia Sofia Kovalevskaya [1850-1891] 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 governesses. Her early years were spent at Palabino, the Krukovsky country estate, and then she lived in St. Petersburg. Sofia was attracted to mathematics at a very early age and in spite of her family's efforts to turn her attentions elsewhere. She married early (and unhappily) so that she could go abroad to study since her father would not let her leave home otherwise. In 1869 Sofia travelled to Heidelberg to study mathematics and the natural sciences, only to discover that women could not matriculate at the university. Eventually she persuaded the university authorities to allow her to attend lectures unofficially provided each of her lecturers gave his permission. She studied there for three semesters and in 1871 moved to Berlin to study with Weierstrass. Despite his efforts and those of 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: one was on partial differential equations, another on Abelian integrals, and the third on Saturn's Rings. The first of these is a remarkable contribution. That same year Kovalevskaya was granted her doctorate

We will return to February 9, 1891, the day before her death. German Gem : Ms. Kovalevskaya, I want to thank you for meeting with us although you are sick. Kovalevskaya I feel as if a great change has come over me since my illness. I am ready to die in peace. German Gem : I would like to start off by asking you about your interesting beginnings in the field of mathematics. Kovalevskaya : Well, when I was very young, starting at the age of five, my uncle would talk about mathematics and it fascinated me. It was also in my blood; my maternal grandfather and great-grandfather were eminent mathematicians and astronomers. The meaning of the concept [s, my uncle talked about,]

Institutes Technologies Expertise Employment ... Do You Know...? Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891) was destined to become a woman of great strengths, and the contributions she made to mathematics promise to be enduring ones. Sofia was attracted to mathematics at a very young age. Sofia wrote in her autobiography : "The meaning of these concepts I naturally could not yet grasp, but they acted on my imagination, instilling in me a reverence for mathematics as an exalted and mysterious science which opens up to its initiates a new world of wonders, inaccessible to ordinary mortals." Sofia was forced to marry so that she could go abroad to enter higher education. Her father would not allow her to leave home to study at a university, and women in Russia could not live apart from their families without the written permission of their father or husband. At the age of eighteen, she entered a nominal marriage with Vladimir Kovalevski, a young palaeontologist. In 1869 Sofia travelled to Heidelberg to study mathematics and the natural sciences, only to discover that women could not matriculate at the university. Eventually she persuaded the university authorities to allow her to attend lectures unofficially, provided that she obtain the permission of each of her lecturers. Professors considered her a gifted student and spoke about her as an extraordinary phenomenon . By the spring of 1874, Kovalevskaya had completed three papers, each of these worthy of a doctorate. The three papers were on Partial differential equations, Abelian integrals and Saturn's Rings.

Sofia Kovalevskaya Sofia Kovalevskaya 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, lived first at Palabino, the Krukovsky country estate, then 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. Her uncle Pyotr Vasilievich Krukovsky, who had a great respect for mathematics, spoke about the subject. Sofia wrote in her autobiography: The meaning of these concepts I naturally could not yet grasp, but they acted on my imagination, instilling in me a reverence for mathematics as an exalted and mysterious science which opens up to its initiates a new world of wonders, inaccessible to ordinary mortals When Sofia was 11 years old, the walls of her nursery were papered with pages of Ostrogradski's lecture notes on differential and integral analysis. She noticed that certain things on the sheets she had heard mentioned by her uncle. Studying the wallpaper was Sofia's introduction to calculus. It was under the family's tutor, Y I Malevich, that Sofia undertook her first proper study of mathematics, and she says that it was as his pupil that I began to feel an attraction for my mathematics so intense that I started to neglect my other studies.

quatre années elle avait publié trois articles dans l' espoir d'avoir une promotion. Le dernier, "sur la théorie d'équations partielles," a été publié au journal de Crelle, un honneur énorme pour un mathématicien inconnu. Heureusement, peu après Sofia réalisa "son plus grand triomphe personnel" . En 1888, elle a présenté son article, "sur la rotation d'un corps plein autour d'un point fixe," en concurrence pour le Prix Bordin par l'Académie Française des Sciences et elle a obtenu le prix. "Avant le travail de Sofia Kovaleskaia, les seules solutions au mouvement d'un corps rigide autour d'un point fixe avaient été développées pour les deux cas où le corps est symétrique". Dans son article, Sofia a développé la théorie pour un corps asymétrique où le centre de masse n'est pas sur un axe à l'intérieur du corps. RETOUR

Home Great Russian Women Olga, Russian princess Ruler Of Russia from 954 to 969 "Behind every great man stands a woman," goes the saying. In a real sense that was true of the Russian prince Vladimir. Credited with Christianizing Russia, Vladimir was following in the steps of his grandmother, Princess Olga of Kiev, who attempted the task earlier and can be given partial credit for preventing Russia from turning Islamic. Olga became regent for her son Svyatoslav in 954 upon the assassination of her husband, Igor I, Prince of Kiev. His costly wars had brought Russia to ruin. She immediately executed his murderers and ruled for the next twenty years, implementing fiscal and other reforms throughout the principality. Possibly already a convert to Christianity, she visited Constantinople and in 957 was baptized there. She returned to Russia with a Christ-like hunger for souls and attempted to lead her people to Orthodoxy. At the same time, she sent envoys to Rome, requesting teachers be sent to train her people in the faith. Led by her son, Svyatoslav, the pagan nobles resisted Christ and her efforts failed. Svyatoslav himself almost converted to Islam. Byzantium diplomacy averted that danger. No doubt Olga's influence had a hand. Certainly she had created a political faction which was interested in seeing Russia Christianized. Olga died in 969. Her pagan son gave her a Christian burial. She is recognized as a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox branches of the church. Her feast day is July 11th.
