About the Author
Sophie Germain Home in Paris
18th Century Paris

The following are slides from several presentations I've made to celebrate the contributions of women in science and mathematics:

I used proof.pdf to talk about the contribution of Sophie Germain to number theory and especially to solving Fermat's Last Theorem. I used this presentation to explain how Germain's unique story inspired Sophie's Diary.

women.pdf is another presentation that includes an overview of Julia Robinson, a 20th century great mathematician who made important contributions to solving Hilbert's Tenth Problem.
