Women In Math Mary Fairfax Somerville Mary Fairfax Somerville was one of Britain's most remarkable women scientists. She began her life as a typical girl in Scottish high society, yet she had mathematical interests and talents that distinguished her. Despite her lack of formal training she managed to produce some great mathematical and physical works right until her death at age 98. She was born to Lt. George Fairfax and Margaret Fairfax in 1780 in Scotland. Her childhood was spent exploring the seaside of her hometown of Burntisland. Her early education consisted of domestic chores and reading of the Bible. By adolescence, this extended to an unpleasant stay at a girls' boarding school where she learned basic reading and writing. This was enough to pique her intellectual interests and so at the age of thirteen she taught herself enough Latin to read Caesar's Commentaries . An algebra problem in a women's fashion magazine introduced her to mathematics. She was curious what the symbols meant. Since it was improper for a lady to ask for a mathematical book in a bookshop, she had to secretly ask her brother's tutor to buy her a copy of Euclid's Elements In 1804 she married one of her cousins, Captain Samuel Greig. He frowned upon intellectual women, but did not stop her studies. She had two sons with him before he died in 1807.

T he great Scottish authority on math and science, Mary Somerville, died in 1872. She was then 92 and writing a book on quaternions the 19th-century form of vector analysis. She was also reviewing a book on finite difference techniques. This powerhouse of British intellectual life was raised in a small town on the Firth of Forth. Without a school to go to, she ran wild chasing seabirds, gazing at stars. Her education was catch-as-catch-can. Then she found out about algebra and geometry. That was like a match in a tinder box, and her parents were horrified. A passion for mathematics could drive a teenage girl insane. Her self-education began in earnest when she was 27 after her first husband died and left her some money to live on. Six years later, she wrote a prize-winning paper on diophantine algebra. She also married an English surgeon who held no stock in 19th-century attitudes toward women.

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. I n 1816 Mary Fairfax Somerville and her husband moved from Scotland to London. She was a brilliant woman a student of science and mathematics. Now her first order of business in London was to meet the noted technical writer Jane Marcet Marcet was 47 and well established. She'd written on chemistry, economics, biology, and much more. The two became close friends. Marcet was well connected. She opened doors into London's intellectual life. She also opened European connections. Somerville struck up lasting friendships with the likes of Biot, Gay-Lussac, and Arago as each passed through London. Even more interesting was the feminine underground around her. I do not call it feminIST. It was not. For example, Marcet didn't even sign her female name to her books. She never made any claim of intellectual equality with the thousands of men trained by her books ostensibly written for young ladies.

Her father, Vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax, did not approve of education for girls. Apart from one year at a fashionable boarding school at Musselburgh, Mary was self-taught. She studied animals and flowers; read French; perfected her Latin, in order to read Newton's Principia , and worked through an algebra handbook and Euclid's Elements of Geometry Mary married a cousin, Captain Samuel Greig, in 1804 but, after bearing him two sons, she was widowed in 1807. In 1812 she married another cousin, Dr William Somerville, who was supportive of her passion for science. The couple had four children together, and lived in Edinburgh before moving to London in 1816. Mary mixed with eminent figures, including George Airy, John and William HERSCHEL, Charles LYELL and William WHEWELL, and she numbered among her foreign acquaintances and correspondents Dominique Arago, Joseph Gay-Lussac, Alexander von Humboldt and Pierre Simon, Marquis de Laplace. In 1826 Somerville gave a paper on 'The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays of the Solar Spectrum' to the Royal Society. This was favourably received at the time, although its theory was negatived by later researchers. The following year she was invited by Lord Brougham, on behalf of the Society of the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, to write a volume describing Laplace's great work

Preface Mary Fairfax Somerville Arts Sciences Health Care Politics Five years later, she married another cousin, William Somerville, who had no problem with a wife worried about mathematic matters. In fact, he supported her a great deal with money and effort, and he introduced her to influencial London circles. In 1826, she gave her first written scientific work "The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays of the Solar Spectrum" to the Royal Society. This society was very impressed by Mary Somervielle's text. Yet being unable to grant her as a woman a Fellowship, they donated a sculpted bust for her. At that time, she already had won a price for having solved a problem on diophantic algebra. At the age of 50 after she had given birth to another four children and after her second husband had died she was asked to help publishing and reviewing the works of Laplace in Great Britain. She did it so well that she earned widespread recognition including an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Astronomical Society ; and it encouraged her to publish her own work "The Connection of the Physical Sciences" (1834) shortly afterwards. This book was a good overview of virtually all known physical knowledge of her time. Another book of hers named "Physical Geography" followed and is said to be the very first book in English tongue about the science of physical geography. She wrote a lot concerning mathematics, astronomy, and physics, yet just a small number of texts went into publishing. At the age of 89, she wrote "On Molecular and Microscopic Science" and received the golden Victoria-medal of the Royal Geographic Society; a similar medal she received of the Italian Geographic Society.

Mary Somerville (1780-1872) Su primo William Somerville se convierte en su segundo marido. Es médico y comparte su interés por la ciencia. Su matrimonio puede considerarse duradero y feliz. William era un hombre inteligente pero de poca ambición personal. Mary conoce a Ada Lovelace y le anima a estudiar matemáticas siendo su mentora. Actividades Comenzó a publicar sus propios trabajos. Su primer trabajo fue Disertación Preliminar . Este trabajo fue reimpreso posteriormente y se difundió por separado, dado su interés. Su siguiente publicación fue Sobre la conexión de las ciencias físicas Tras una etapa en Italia, por motivos de salud de su esposo, sin abandonar sus estudios, publica Physical Geography y se hicieron de él siete ediciones. Sufre una fuerte depresión tras la muerte sucesiva de su marido y uno de sus hijos. Vive entonces en Nápoles y con 85 años comienza a escribir su cuarto libro On Molecular and Mycroscopic Science y revisa su libro On the theory of differences . A los 89 años escribe su autobiografía y sigue estudiando matemáticas aun con 92 años. Cuando le sorprende la muerte estaba investigando sobre cuaterniones. Quienes tuvieron la suerte de conocerla no dudaron en llamarla "la reina de las ciencias del siglo XIX".
