Despite having no formal education in mathematics, she still possessed a great power of geometric visualization in hyperspace. From the age of seventeen until her death, she remained interested in regular and semi-regular four-dimensional polytopes and made several important discoveries in this area. The University of Groningen conferred upon her an honorary degree and exhibited her geometric models. Coxeter, H.S.M.

Search Women's History Alicia Stott June 8 , 1860 - December 17, 1940) mathematician Alicia Boole Stott's father was the mathematician George Boole (for whom Boolean logic is named). He was teaching in Ireland when Alicia was born there, in 1860, and he died four years later. Alicia lived with her grandmother in England and her great-uncle in Cork for the next ten years before she rejoined her mother and sisters in London. In her teens, Alicia Stott became interested in four-dimensional hypercubes, or tesseracts. She became secretary to John Falk, an associate of her brother-in-law, Howard Hinton, who had introduced her to tesseracts. Alicia Stott continued building models of wood to represent four-dimensional convex solids, which she named polytopes, and published an article on three-dimenstional sections of hypersolids in 1900. She married Walter Stott, an actuary. They had two children, and Alicia Stott settled into the role of homemaker until her husband noted that her mathematical interests might also be of interest to the mathematician Pieter Hendrik Schoute at the University of Groningen. After the Stotts wrote to Schoute, and Schoute saw photographs of some models that Alicia Stott had built, Schoute moved to England to work with her.

Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 880. Today, we enter hyperspace on a kitchen table. 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. Y our computer depends on Boolean logic. That's kin to the arithmetic that admits only two numbers: and 1. Binary arithmetic doesn't go 1, 2, 3, 4. It goes 0, 1, 10, 11. The English mathematician George Boole built his logic on that arithmetic. But we're interested in Boole's daughter, Alice Boole Stott. George Boole took a professorship at Queen's College, Cork, in 1849. Alice was born there in 1860. When she was four, George died of the fever and left the family with very limited means. For the next 14 years, Alice lived in bad conditions in Ireland and England. She was educated only up to the age of 16. Then a piece of serendipity: In 1878 a family friend brought in a set of wooden blocks and talked with Alice about tesseracts. A tesseract is a four-dimensional object. It is to a cube what a cube is to a plane square. If you have trouble picturing that, you can appreciate the task Alice had taken on.

Extractions: George Boole (1815-1864) was a British mathematician and is known as the founder of mathematical logic. Boole, who came from a poor family and was essentially a self-taught mathematician, made his presence known in the world of mathematics in 1847 after the publication of his book, "The Mathematical Analysis of Logic". In his book, Boole successfully demonstrated that logic, as Aristotle taught it, could be represented by algebraic equations. In 1854, Boole firmly established his reputation by publishing "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities", a continuation of his earlier work. In 1855 Boole, the first professor of mathematics at The College of Cork, Ireland, married Mary Everest, who is now known as a mathematician and teacher in her own right. Mary, who was 18 years younger than Boole, served as sounding-board and editor for her husband throughout their nine years of marriage. Unfortunately, Mary's poor choice of medical treatment may have hastened Boole's death. After getting caught in the rain and catching a cold, Boole was put to bed by his wife, who dumped buckets of water on him based on the theory that whatever had caused the illness would also provide the cure. (It seemed logical to her.) George and Mary had five daughters; the third daughter, Alicia Boole Stott, became well-known for her work in the visualization of geometric figures in hyperspace.

http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/boole.htm

Extractions: Mary Everest Boole Mary Everest Boole was born in England in 1832. It was not long thereafter that her father, Dr. Thomas Everest, a minister, moved the family to Poissy, France in order to cure his serious illness. At the time, Mary was five years old and her brother, George, was only two. Although growing up in Poissy gave Mary a chance to be exposed to a different culture and language, life was sometimes difficult and lonely. For example, it was hard for the Everest's, coming from the tradition of an English minister, to live in a town that was French Catholic. Dr. Everest believed strongly in homeopathy, a medical system whose main objective was to promote health and prevent disease. Some customs of homeopathy were extreme, such as baths in ice water to help resist disease. It was during Dr. Everest's curing process that Mary stayed very loyal to him, even participating in some of the homeopathic customs. It was Mary's uncle, George Everest, who made the family name famous. Colonel Sir George Everest was the Surveyor General of India. He was largely responsible for completion of the trigonometric survey of India along the meridan arc from the south of India extending north to Nepal. The completion of the Indian survey allowed the subsequent survey of Mt. Everest (at the time un-named) and calculation of its summit height. It was later renamed in honor of George Everest. Mary and her Uncle George were very close and George had hoped to adopt her. But Mary loved her parents too much to ever agree to the adoption.

Extractions: Alicia Boole Stott Alicia Boole Stott è una delle cinque figlie di Mary Everest e George Boole. Si interessa giovanissima alla geometria dello spazio a quattro dimensioni , facendo di questo capitolo della matematica il suo costante campo di ricerca. ATTIVITA' Negli anni della giovinezza in Inghilterra, Alicia indirizza le sue curiosità culturali allo studio degli iperspazi, dopo che Hinton nel 1880 aveva anche scritto un articolo dal titolo "Che cosa è la quarta dimensione?". Hinton è cognato della giovane Boole e se a lei il padre e la madre avevano trasmesso la passione per la matematica, Hinton incide decisamente nella scelta del suo campo specifico di ricerca Particolarmente importanti sono gli studi di Alicia Stott sui politopi regolari , gli equivalenti nello spazio a quattro dimensioni dei poliedri regolari nello spazio a tre dimensioni. La Stott si occupa in particolare delle sezioni dei politopi con lo spazio a tre dimensioni e riesce a realizzare modelli di varie sezioni dei politopi utilizzando solo nozioni di geometria sintetica. Nel 1900 pubblica il saggio: "On certain series of sections of tht regular four-dimensional hypersolids".

Changes in attitudes towards math and science learning - Why? Women in science and mathematics biographical sketches In the past most women were not educated (learning to sew, music, dance, cook = woman's education). Ancient Greeks and many who followed did not think most women had the level of intelligence for academic discussion. There were a few women allowed - not wives! Many went into the convent in order to become "academics." (Monks' libraries were available to them.) Classical (Latin, Greek, the "great works") education was the upper class education. Math was "degrading"; it soiled you. Math was for merchants. Common denominators for women who were successful in science was: Courage (and, of course, intelligence). Family support. Often a father or male (family member) who encouraged. Sophia Germain - lived during the French Revolution. Was forced to stay at home - used her father's library for study - at 13 taught herself differential calculus. Could not study in French universities so used a pen name, M. LeBlanc. Impressed Gauss.

George Boole died when Alicia was only four years old and she was was brought up partly in England by her grandmother, partly in Cork by her great-uncle. When she was twelve years old she went to London where she joined her mother and sisters. With no formal education she suprised everyone when, at the age of eighteen, she was introduced to a set of little wooden cubes by her brother-in-law Charles Howard Hinton. Alicia Boole experimented with the cubes and soon developed an amazing feel for four dimensional geometry. She introduced the word 'polytope' to describe a four dimensional convex solid. MacHale, in [3], writes:- She found that there were exactly six regular polytopes on four dimensions and that they are bounded by 5, 16 or 600 tetrahedra, 8 cubes, 24 octahedra or 120 dodecahedra. She then produced three-dimensional central cross-sections of all the six regular polytopes by purely Euclidean constructions and synthetic methods for the simple reason that she had never learned any analytic geometry. She made beautiful cardboard models of all these sections.... After taking up secretarial work near Liverpool in 1889 she met and married Walter Stott in 1890. Stott learned of Schoute's work on central sections of the regular polytopes in 1895 and Alicia Stott sent him photographs of her cardboard models. Schoute came to England and worked with Alicia Stott, persuading her to publish her results which she did in two papers published in Amsterdam in 1900 and 1910.
