Laurence Chisholm Young Laurence Chisholm Young (July 14, 1905 - December 24, 2000) Laurence Chisholm Young was born in Gottingen, Germany. He was the son of British mathematicians, William Henry Young and Grace Chisholm Young. His mother was one of the first women to receive a doctorate in mathematics and one of the first women to receive a doctorate in any field in Europe. Laurie was raised mostly in Lausanne, Switzerland and attended Trinity College of Cambridge University in England. He received an M.A. in 1931 and was a Fellow of Trinity College from 1931 to 1935. He received a Sc.D. in 1938. Professor Young was Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Cape Town in South Africa from 1938 until 1948. Laurie joined the faculty of UW-Madison in 1948 as Professor of Mathematics. He had a distinguished career in Madison and was given the title ``Distinguished Research Professor'' in 1968. He was Chair of the Department from 1962 to 1964. He retired from the faculty in 1976. In 1984 Professor Young received an honorary degree from the Université de Paris-Dauphine. Laurie Young was internationally recognized for his contributions to Mathematics in the areas of measure theory, calculus of variations, control theory, and potential theory. His work on geometric measure theory led to what are now called Young measures associated with a weakly convergent sequence of functions. Young measures have found many applications, including to the theory of materials with nonconvex constitutive relations. He is the author of the book ``Lectures on the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory, published in 1969.

The essays are arranged alphabetically by the women's best-known professional names. A better arrangement would have been by the periods within which the women worked; an approximation to that can be achieved by using the list in Appendix A of the included women ordered by birthdate. With its many appendices and its two good indexes, the bibliographic structure of this book is excellent. This together with its reviews of the work of many less-known women mathematicians makes it a valuable contribution to the history of mathematics.

Mary Ellen Rudin Paracompactness Louisville, Kentucky 1984 Previous Index Next MARY ELLEN RUDIN is a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she held the Grace Chisholm Young and Hilidale Professorships. She was born in 1924 in Hillsboro, Texas. She completed both her undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Texas, where she worked with R. L. Moore. She was also greatly influenced by F. B. Jones. Afler receiving her PhD in 1949, Rudin taught at Duke University and then went with her husband, mathematician Walter Rudin, to the University of Rochester, and later to the University of Wisconsin. There she was a lecturer until 1971, when she became a full professor. Rudin's primary research area is set-theoretic topology, and she is particularly well known for her ability to construct counterexamples. Her Noether Lecture discussed several set-theoretic questions related to paracompactness. Metrizability in a topological space provides a great deal of structure: a metric space is, for example, paracompact. But if one does not require metrizability, and instead asks to what extent normality (assuming all spaces are Hausdorff) achieves the structure of paracompactness, one discovers a very complex world of counterexamples whose product with the closed unit interval is not normal. It is undecidable in Zermel-Frankel set theory whether there is a perfectly normal nonmetrizable manifold, and the question of whether every normal Moore space is metrizable has a more complex, unsatisfactory answer. Rudin's Noether Lecture explored these and similar problems in nonmetrizable topological spaces.

Abir-Am, editors, Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, 1996. xi+369. ISBN 0-8135-2188-2 (paper). $18.95. From: AWM Newsletter, March/April 1997. Reviewed by : Marge Murray, Book Review Editor, Department of Mathematics, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061-0123; email: murray@calvin.math.vt.edu It has long been observed that women scientists and mathematicians who marry tend to marry other scientists and mathematicians. In an attempt to reconcile the personal and the professional, women's careers have often been subordinated to their husbands' or to the needs of a household and children. But the historian Margaret Rossiter has observed that in earlier times - particularly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when women's opportunities in science and mathematics were far more restricted than today - a woman scientist's marriage to a colleague occasionally enhanced her career and enabled her to make more creative contributions than she might otherwise. In fact, the most distinguished American women scientists in the first half of the twentieth century were disproportionately those married to other scientists. In some cases the woman gained greater access to facilities and communities in science through her connection to her husband. In some cases the wife was able to make contributions because she was accepted as her husband's assistant in research. And in some rare but notable cases, the woman formed a truly collaborative partnership with her husband and together they made major contributions to science for which both were recognized and rewarded.
