Today (January 15, 1850) is the birthday of Sofia Kovalevskaya, the first female professor in Northern Europe to have contributed to mathematical analysis and genetics.

Today (January 15, 1850) is the birthday of Sofia Kovalevskaya, the first female professor in Northern Europe to have contributed to mathematical analysis and genetics.

Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya was born on January 15, 1850, in Moscow. Her father, Lieutenant General Vasily Vasilievich Korvin-Krugovsky, served as commander of the Moscow Artillery in the Imperial Russian Army. Despite her apparent talent in mathematics, she was unable to complete her education in Russia. At that time, women were not allowed to go to universities in Russia and other countries. To study abroad, Kovalevskaya needed to write permission from his father. Accordingly, in 1868, Vladimir Kovalevsky contracted an "imaginary marriage" with a young archaeology student, book publisher and extremist. She was the first to translate and publish the works of Charles Darwin in Russia. They left Russia for Germany in 1869 after a brief stay in Vienna to pursue advanced studies.

Sonia Kovalavsuki High School Mathematics Day is a new development project run by the Institute of Women's Mathematics. It conducts workshops across the United States and encourages women to study mathematics. AWM hosts the Sonia Kovalavsuki Lecture every year. In it, speeches are made on the majorities that mode and computational mathematics have contributed to. Earlier speakers at the event included Irene Fonseka (2006), Ingrid Toupechis (2005), Joyce R. McLaughlin (2004), Ilinda R. Betsold (2003). One of the craters of the moon is given as the Kovalavsukaya crater. The Alexander von Fambold Institute of Germany presents the Sofia Kovalavsuki Award to young researchers every two years.

Sofia has been the subject of three films and a television career. She was a first-time female mathematician. She made his original contributions to mathematical analysis, taxonomy, and mechanics. She was the first female professor in Northern Europe. She was also the first female editor of a scientific journal. Her Russian name is furry in many ways, although she always refers to herself as "Sophie Kovalavsuki". Only in academic publications (from time to time "Kovalavsuki"), and when he came to Sweden he called himself "Sonia". Sophia Kovalevskaya, the first female professor in Northern Europe, passed away on February 10, 1891, in Stockholm, Sweden at the age of 44.
