We were discussing women and there mathematical abilities, PLEASE NO FLAMES !!! . I was just wondering if in history have there been any world caliber women mathematicians. Kind of like Madam Curie was to Phisics and Chemestry only in the field of mathematics. #include "stdisclaimer.h" PS: Once again no flames I am not a chauvinist or a sexist I just simply would like to know the answer to this nagging question.
