Voices In STEM: WOMEN, BIPOC, LGBTQ+

The role of minority and women mathematicians in developing our American mathematical community is an important but previously under-told story.

Four female African-American mathematicians literally made it possible to launch US rockets and astronauts into space. Hidden Women tells the thrilling tale of how women contributed, the struggles and resistance each experienced, and the amazing result.

Discusses how in the 1950s, black women made critical contributions to NASA by performing calculations that made it possible for the nation's astronauts to fly into space and return safely to Earth

Equivalence is the compelling story of one pioneering statistician's relentless twenty-year effort to promote the status of women in academe and science. Part biography and part microhistory, the book provides the context and background to understand Scott's masterfulness at using statistics to help solve societal problems.

ulia Bowman Robinson was the first woman mathematician elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the first woman elected president of the American Mathematical Society.

Mina Spiegel Rees (1902-1997) was an American mathematician who had a significant impact on mathematical research and education in the United States. She was the head of the Mathematical Sciences Division of the Office of Naval Research during World War II and was the Dean of Graduate Studies at CUNY after the war.

Emmy Noether is one of the most important figures in the history of science and mathematics.. Noether's mathematical genius enabled Einstein to bring his General Theory of Relativity, the basis of our current theory of gravity, to fruition. On a larger scale, what came to be known as "Noether's Theorem" - called by a Nobel laureate "the single most profound result in all of physics" - supplied the basis for the most accurate theory in the history of physics, the Standard Model.
