   Extractions: Julia Bowman Robinson December 8, 1919 - July 30, 1985 Julia Bowman was born on December 8, 1919, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Ralph Bowers Bowman and Helen Hall Bowman. Two years later, her mother died, and Bowman and her older sister, Constance, went to Phoenix, Arizona to live with their grandmother. During this time her father lost interest in his machine tool and equipment business and retired. After marrying Edenia Kridelbaugh, her father joined his daughters in Arizona with his new wife. The family moved to San Diego, California, where her father supported the family with his savings. Three years later a third daughter, Billie, was born. When Bowman was nine years old, she contracted scarlet fever, causing the family to be quarantined for a month. The family celebrated the end of their quarantine by viewing their first talking motion picture. A year later, Bowman developed rheumatic fever, and after several relapses, she had to spend a year in bed at the home of a nurse. At the time, the treatment for rheumatic fever was sunbaths and isolation from everyone, including her sisters. When Bowman became well enough, she studied with a tutor for a year, covering material from the fifth through the eighth grade. The tutor's claim that the square root of two could not be calculated to a point where the decimal would repeat itself fascinated her. When she re-entered school in ninth grade, she had a profound interest in mathematics. Even when all the other girls had dropped out of the math classes by their junior year, Bowman continued on, and she was the only woman in her physics classes (Kelley 595). While she succeeded in her school work, she had a hard time gaining self- confidence and overcoming her insecurities. She had not developed these qualities because of her isolation. Instead, she relied on Constance to speak for her (Smorynski 77). However, she managed to graduate in 1936 with honors in mathematics and science courses and the Bausch-Lomb medal for all-around excellence in science. Her parents rewarded her achievements with a slide rule that she named "Slippy."

   Extractions: First Woman Mathematician elected to National Academy of Sciences Born December 8, 1919 in St. Louis, Missouri. Second of two daughters of Ralph and Helen Bowman. Mother died when Julia was two, so her father sent her and her sister Constance to Arizona to live with Grandma. Her father remarried Edenia Kndelbaugh in 1923 and they moved out to Arizona to join the girls, then moved them all to San Diego, California. A little sister, Billie, was born Easter Sunday 1928. Julia came down with scarlet fever and then rheumatic fever, which kept her confined to her room for a year. Her tutor sparked her interest in Mathematics. She returned to public school in ninth grade and found herself to be the only girl in her physics and math classes. Graduated in 1936 with honors in science and mathematics.

   Extractions: Julia Bowman's mother died when she was two years old and her father, retiring a year later, moved to Arizona and then later to San Diego. Her schooling was disrupted by a year off school with scarlet fever at age 9. After graduating from San Diego High School she entered San Diego State College. Later she transferred to the University of California at Berkeley. There she became Neyman's assistant but after marrying an assistant professor of mathematics there, she was no longer allowed to teach in the mathematics department. She left mathematics at this time. In 1946 she visited Princeton and took up mathematics again, working for a doctorate under Tarski's supervision. In her thesis she proved that the arithmetic of rational numbers is undecidable by giving an arithmetical definition of the integers in the rationals. Robinson was awarded a doctorate in 1948, and that same year started work on Hilbert's Tenth Problem: find an effective way to determine whether a Diophantine equation is soluble. Along with Martin Davis and Hilary Putman she gave a fundamental result which contributed to the solution to Hilbert's Tenth Problem. She also did important work on that problem with Matijasevic after he gave the solution in 1970. In addition to this work on Hilbert's Tenth Problem, Robinson also wrote on general recursive functions and on primitive recursive functions. In 1980 she gave the American Mathematical Society Colloquium Lectures on computability, Hilbert's Tenth Problem, decision problems for rings and fields, and non-standard models of arithmetic. She was the second woman to give the Colloquium Lectures, the first being Wheeler in 1927.

   Extractions: This entry contributed by Margherita Barile American mathematician Julia H. Bowman was born in Missouri, and spent her early childhood in Arizona, before settling down in San Diego, California. At the age of nine, she contracted a rheumatic fever that would have longstanding consequences on her health. Her scientific education began in high school, where she was the only girl to take mathematics and physics classes. She excelled in both and received awards. She studied mathematics together with her sister Constance, who later became a journalist and biographer of mathematicians, at the San Diego State College. After graduating, Julia moved to Berkeley. There she met Raphael Robinson, her lecturer in number theory, and the two were married in late 1941. Being the wife of a professor would by no means facilitate her academic career. On the contrary, it kept her away from her favorite subject, mathematics, since an university rule prevented married couples from working in the same department. Hence Julia remained confined in the statistics lab through all the years of her teaching assistantship. Her first published paper was General Recursive Functions (Princeton, 1947). In 1948, she received her Ph.D. under the supervision of A. Tarski with her thesis

   Extractions: One of my earliest memories is of arranging pebbles in the shadow of a giant saguaro . . . I think I have always had a basic liking for the natural numbers. To me they are the one real thing. We can conceive of a chemistry which is different from ours, or a biology, but we cannot conceive of a different mathematics of numbers. What is proved about numbers will be a fact in any universe. (From The Autobiography of Julia Robinson by Constance Reid) A S A MATHEMATICIAN, JULIA Bowman Robinson will long be remembered for her many important contributions to questions of algorithmic solvability and unsolvability of mathematical problems, in particular for her part in the negative solution of Hilbert's "Tenth Problem." And, despite her expressed wish, she will be remembered as the first woman to be elected to the mathematical section of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the first woman to be president of the American Mathematical Society. By those who knew her personally she will be remembered for her rare qualities of idealism, integrity, modesty, openness, and generosity, and for her appreciation and encouragement of the work of others. She was born Julia Bowman on December 8, 1919, in St. Louis, Missouri, the second of two daughters, to Helen Hall Bowman and Ralph Bowers Bowman. Her mother died when she was two years old, and her father retired not long after, having lost interest in his machine tool and equipment business. Ralph Bowman remarried a few years later to Edenia Kridelbaugh, and the family moved first to Arizona and then to San Diego; a third daughter, Billie, joined Constance and Julia a few years later. As a child, Julia was said to be stubborn and slow to talk, but she exhibited a precocious liking for the natural numbers, as evidenced by her earliest reported memories.

   Extractions: in Arithmetic Cincinnati, Ohio 1982 Previous Index Next JULIA BOWMAN ROBINSON was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1919. She began college majoring in mathematics, in order to receive public school teaching credentials, but later transferred to the University of California at Berkeley as her interest shifted to research mathematics. She received her BA in 1940 and began her graduate studies after discovering that potential employers were more interested in her typing skills than her mathematics. At Berkeley, she studied number theory with Raphael M. Robinson. They married in 1941, after which nepotism rules prohibited her from teaching as a graduate assistant in Berkeley's mathematics department. In 1947, she began work with the logician Alfred Tarski for her doctorate, which she received in 1948. Her thesis showed that the notion of an integer can be defined arithmetically in terms of the notion of a rational number and the operations of addition and multiplication on the rationals. The arithmetic of rationals is therefore adequate for the formulation of all problems of elementary number theory. In 1975, Robinson became the first woman mathematician to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and, in 1983, she became the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society. Her other honors included election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a grant from the MacArthur Foundation, and an honorary degree from Smith College. She died in 1985.

First woman mathematician elected to the National Academy of Sciences. First woman president of the American Mathematical Society. MacArthur award. Contributed to the solution of Hilbert's Tenth Problem. In 1900, at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, David Hilbert (1862-1943), the most influential mathematician of his time, posed 23 open problems , whose solutions, he deemed, would be of the most profound significance to the advancement of mathematics. These problems have challenged many of the best mathematical minds of the twentieth century. Solving one of Hilbert's problems is often enough to secure the solver's mathematical reputation. Julia Robinson was one of three mathematicians whose combined work settled the tenth problem on Hilbert's list: Find an effective way to determine whether a polynomial equation with integer coefficients and one or more unknowns has any integer solutions. (Sort of like the quadratic formula.)

   Extractions: Julia Bowman 's parents were Ralph Bowers Bowman and Helen Hall. Julia was the younger of her parents two children, having an elder sister Constance who was two years older. Ralph Bowman owned a machine tool and equipment company while Helen had been a primary school teacher before her marriage. However Ralph seemed to lose interest in his business after his wife Helen died, partly because he had made enough money to support his family from investing it. Julia was two years old when her mother died and after this she and her sister Constance were sent to live in a community of about four houses in the Arizona desert. Ralph remarried Edenia Kridelbaugh a year later, retired from his business at this time, and moved with his new wife to Arizona to be with his children. The family moved about a lot over the next few years, always being away from the desert in the summer time. Of course there was no school in the middle of the Arizona desert, so when Julia was five years old (and Constance was seven) her new mother Edenia insisted that the family settle permanently somewhere where the children could be sent to school. They chose Point Loma in San Diego which was very small, having around 50 families, with a primary school which had so few pupils that it combined children of different ages into the same classroom. The arrangement allowed both Julia and Constance to progress more rapidly through the levels than might otherwise have been possible. In 1928 Ralph and Edenia had a daughter Billie, so Julia now had a younger sister as well as an elder one. Her schooling was disrupted by a year off school with scarlet fever when she was nine years old.

    Extractions: Julia was born on December 8, 1919 in St. Louis, Missouri. When she was two, her mother died and she went to live with her grandma in Arizona. Her father later got remarried and moved the family to California. When Robinson was ten she had rheumatic fever and had to spend a year in bed. She studied with a tutor to make up for the time she had missed. She re-entered the ninth grade with a strong interest in mathematics. At the age of seventeen, Robinson attended San Diego State College. She majored in mathematics and prepared for a teaching career. Her father lost most of his money in the Great Depression and committed suicide. Robinson then received financial support from her aunt and her older sister. She transferred to the University of California – Berkley for her senior year and stayed there for graduate school. In December of 1941, during her second year of graduate school, she married one of her professors, Raphael Robinson. During WWII she worked in the Berkley Statistical Laboratory on secret military projects. After her marriage she focused on having a family.

    Extractions: Julia Robinson was born in St. Louis, Missouri on December 8, 1919 to Ralph Bowers Bowman and Helen Hall Bowman. When she was two years old her mother died and the family was sent to Phoenix, Arizona to live with a grandmother. In the fall of 1925, the family moved again to Point Loma on San Diego Bay. Julia received her elementary and secondary education in the San Diego public schools. In 1936 she began her college career at San Diego State College, majoring in mathematics and transferring to Berkeley for her senior year. She received three degrees from Berkeley: A.B. 1940, M.A. 1941, and Ph.D. in 1948. In 1941 she married Raphael Robinson, who had taught her number theory at Berkeley. In all, Robinson published 25 papers. Her first four papers dealt with probability theory, game theory, the subject of her dissertation, and the theory of recursive functions. Robinson's fifth paper was her first step along a road that led her to fame, and she followed it with eight other papers that brought her very far along the same roadalthough not quite to the end. These papers were successive efforts to solve "Hilbert's tenth problem"; this terminology refers to a list of 23 problems proposed at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in 1900 by David Hilbert, generally acknowledged to be the greatest mathematician of his time. Hilbert's list of problems provided a framework for a vast amount of the mathematical research of our century.
