Cathleen Morawetz May 5, 1923 - Written by Tyler Knowles, Class of 2000 (Agnes Scott College) Cathleen Morawetz was born on May 5, 1923, in Toronto, Canada. Her Irish parents were John Synge, a mathematician, and Eleanor Mabel Synge. Cathleen obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics in 1943 at the University of Toronto, where she studied with Cecilia Krieger . The following year she worked as a technical assistant for inspection of the Board of the United Kingdom and Canada. She received her master's degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946. Cathleen then moved to New York where she edited a book called Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves by Richard Courant and Kurt Friedrichs of New York University. On the completion of the book, she began writing her Ph.D. thesis on imploding shock waves. In 1950, while researching her thesis, Cathleen became a naturalized U.S. citizen. She earned her Ph.D. at New York University in 1951. Cathleen then became a research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a year but returned to NYU in 1952. Since then she has spent her entire career there. She was a research associate for five years, then became an assistant professor in 1957, associate professor in 1960, and professor in 1965. She was appointed associate director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 1978 and deputy director in 1981. She has served as director of the National Cash Register Corporation since 1978 and as chair of the mathematics department of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences from 1981- 1984. Cathleen became the first woman in the United States to head a mathematical institute when she was named director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 1984. She is now Professor Emeritus at New York University-Courant Institute.

Her father was John Lighton Synge , a mathematician who has a biography in this archive, while her mother, Eleanor Mabel Allen Synge, also had some training as a mathematician. Both Cathleen's parents were Irish but she was born in Toronto while her father held the position of assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto. However, when she was two years old the family returned to Ireland when her father was appointed to the chair of Natural Philosophy at Dublin University. When Cathleen was seven years old the family returned to Toronto and it was in Toronto that she attended school. Cathleen won a scholarship and entered the University of Toronto to study mathematics. Her parents both encouraged her interest in mathematics and science but her father jokingly said that if she became a mathematician:- ... we might fight like the Bernoulli brothers. Of course the years that Cathleen spent as an undergraduate at Toronto was the time of World War II and she undertook war work in 1943-44 as a technical assistant. Returning to the University of Toronto she was awarded her B.A. degree in Mathematics in 1945.

Cathleen Synge Morawetz Variations on Conservation Laws for the Wave Equation Berlin, Germany, 1998 Previous Index Next Cathleen Synge Morawetz: Morawetz's earliest published works were on the stability of steady viscous flows. In the fifties, she turned to the mathematics of transonic flow, and showed that specially designed shockless airfoils develop shocks if they are altered even by a small amount. The discovery opened the problem of developing a theory for transonic flow with shocks. Morawetz's father was the mathematician J. L. Synge, and her mother also studied mathematics for a time. Both her parents were supportive of her interest in mathematics and science, and it was a woman mathematician, Cecilia Krieger, who had been a family friend for many years who later encouraged Motawetz to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics. A mother of four, Morawetz has been able to balance her energies between her research and her family. She was honored by the National Organization for Women for successfully combining career and family; today her main nonmathematical interests are her six grandchildren - and even there she likes to do things which keep them interested in science and mathematics.

4. Morawetz Cathleen Morawetz. 1923 . There are few people, especially women, in the fieldof Mathematics who have accomplished as much as Cathleen Morawetz. http://www.math.wichita.edu/history/women/morawetz.html

Cathleen Morawetz It was during this period that Cathleen worked as a technical assistant doing war work in 1943-44. Upon returning to the University of Toronto after the war, Cathleen had the good fortune of working under the distinguished Cecilia Krieger and finished her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics in 1945. Cathleen’s education and interest in mathematics did not stop with her Bachelors degree. Cathleen married a chemist, Herbert Morawetz, in 1945 and moved to Massachusetts and received her Master’s Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946. It was at this time that Cathleen was at odds with whether to continue her studies as a mathematician as the opportunities for women were very limited at that time. Luckily, her former teacher and friend, Cecilia Krieger, persuaded her to continue with her studies. Continuing at the Courant Institute, in 1974, Cathleen became associate director, a position she held until 1984 when she was appointed Director of the Courant Institute. Cathleen is the first woman to not only hold this position, but she was the first woman to hold any position of this stature in the United States. Additionally, Cathleen has received many honors throughout her distinguished career. They include: Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Member of the Advisory Committee for the Mathematical Sciences for the National Science Foundation Member of the Mathematical Advisory Committee to the Nation bureau of Standards

Cathleen S. Morawetz How Do Perturbations of the Wave Equation Work Denver, Colorado 1983 CATHLEEN SYNGE MORAWETZ was bom in Toronto of Irish parents. She graduated from the University of Toronto in 1945 and went on to receive her master's degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Techinology. She earned her PhD at New York University, with a thesis on the stability of a spherical implosion. She is a professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU, where she served as director from 1984 to 1988. In 1981, she delivered the Gibbs Lecture of The American Mathematical Society, and in 1982 presented an Invited Address at a meeting of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and was named Outstanding Wornan Scientist for 1993 by the Association for Women in Science. In 1995, she became the second woman elected to the office of president of the American Mathernatical Society. Morawetz's earliest published works were on the stability of steady viscous flows. In an early paper, she showed that there are stable modes for many Orr-Somerfeld tw0-point boundary value problems coming from the perturbation of steady flows, but these modes slip off to infinity in the limit of zero viscosity. As a result, they are of little interest in analyzing viscosity. Turning to the mathematics of transonic flow, she showed that specially designed shockless airfoils develop shocks if they are altered even by a small amount. This discovery opened the problem of developing a theory for a flow with shocks.

Cecilia Krieger April 9, 1894- August 17, 1974 Cecilia Krieger was born in Jaslo, Poland (formerly Austria) in 1894. After studying mathematics and physics for one year at the University of Vienna, she entered the University of Toronto in 1920 (despite knowing very little English), receiving her B.A degree in 1924, her M.A. in 1925, and her Ph.D. in 1930 under the direction of W. J. Webber. Her graduate work included courses in Modular Elliptic Functions from Jacques Chapelon, Minimum Principles of Mechanics from J.L. Synge, Theory of Sets from Samuel Beatty, Theory of Numbers from J.C. Fields, and Theory of Functions from Webber. Her thesis was "On the summability of trigonometric series with localized propertieson Fourier constants and convergence factors of double Fourier series." This was published in two parts in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, in 1928 and 1930, respectively. Introduction to General Topology Cover page ] and General Topology (1952). In the 1934 translation Krieger also included an appendix that contained some of the ideas and results from Sierpinski's text on transfinite numbers that were used in the topology book.

Cathleen Synge Morawetz Cathleen Synge was born May 5 th , 1923 in Toronto, Ontario. Her parents, John and Eleanor were both mathematicians of Irish descent. At the age of two, the Synge family moved back to Ireland where John was appointed to chair of Natural Philosophy at Dublin University. In 1930 Cathleen and her family returned to Toronto where Cathleen started school at the age of seven. Cathleen’s parents had always encouraged her interest in mathematics and upon graduating from high school, she won a scholarship for the University of Toronto, World War II was on so she took a year off school and undertook way work as a technical assistant in 1943-1944. Synge returned to U of T in 1944 and was awarded her B.A. degree in mathematics in 1945. On October 28 th , 1945 Cathleen Synge married Herbert Morawetz, a chemist, and the two moved to Massachusetts where Cathleen attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her Master’s Degree, which was awarded to her in 1946. Morawetz was granted U.S. Citizenship in 1950. Cathleen became fascinated by transonic flow and associated phenomena as she was editing Courant and Friedrich’s "Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves" while working at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, and decided to write her thesis on the stability of a spherical implosion. In 1951, Cathleen received her Ph.D.. In the early 1950's, she started looking at the mathematics of transonic flow, and made many discoveries which opened the problem of developing a theory for transonic flow with shocks. Towards the end of that decade Morawetz used functional analysis along with ingenious new estimates for an equation of a mixed type to prove an innovative new principle for boundary value problems for partial differential equations. From then on, much of Cathleen’s work focused on the wave equation.
