Today (April 3, 1998) is the anniversary of Dame Marie Lucy Cartwright, the English mathematician who discovered the theory of disorder.
Dame Mary Cartwright was born on
December 17, 1900, in Ainho, England. Her father, William Digby, worked at
Cartwright Church. Four people were born with him. He received his primary
education at Lamington High School. History was his favourite subject at school.
After completing her schooling, Cartwright joined the world-renowned Oxford
University in October 1919 for higher studies. In higher studies Mary chose
mathematics. At that time, a total of five women were studying at the
university with him. It was the end of the First World War. Therefore, many of
the students who took part in the war returned to the university and began
their studies. Due to a large number of students, lessons were held in large
halls and rooms. Due to congestion, Mary was unable to observe or write the
syllabus properly.
Two years ago, he took a math
training exam. Of these, Mary was only able to obtain a Second Class. Thus, he
was forced to leave mathematics and re-choose his favourite subject, history.
Mary then had the opportunity to attend a special banquet. Professor V.C. Met
Morton. Professor Morton realized Cartwright's interest in mathematics. He
advised me to read the book Modern Analysis by Whitaker and Watson, two
mathematicians. Furthermore, G.H. Hardy recommended his lectures to him. Mary,
on the advice of Professor Morton, again turned her full attention to
mathematics. G.H. Hardy's math lectures impressed Mary the most. Thus he began
to study mathematics with great dedication. As a result, in the final exam of
the third year, he passed the first class. He graduated in mathematics in 1923.
Due to her family background,
Mary was unable to continue her studies. So, she started working as a math
teacher in a school. After spending five years as a teacher, she wanted to study
mathematics. G.H. With Hardy's help, she joined his research team as a student.
Her study "Zeros of Integrated Function of Special Types" was
published in 1930 by J. E Verified by Littlewood. One evening Hardy presented
his research team with a list of specific math puzzles. Mary Cartwright
provided excellent solutions to many of the puzzles presented on that list.
Hardy was amazed at her mathematical ability. Hardy's guidance was instrumental
in making Mary Cartwright a better mathematician. Through her hard work and
Vida's efforts, Mary Cartwright became famous for submitting more than 90
excellent mathematical research papers. Her name became widely known in the
world of mathematics. The results of Cartwright's study provided important
information on the properties of dependencies and solutions of derivative
equations.
His mentor studied with Hardy's
best friend, the famous mathematician Littlewood (John Edensor Littlewood).
Combining analytical and design ideas, Cartwright first published a very rare
research paper. This discovery is the beginning of the theory of chaos theory,
which is popular today. Mary Cartwright was one of the leading contributors to
the world of mathematics, following numerous studies. Concepts such as the
Trishley series, the Abel addition methods, and the nature of the war are among
the most important features of his study.
Mary Cartwright, who has made
rare discoveries in mathematics, has received numerous honours and awards. In
1947, F.R.S. He was also awarded the title of Fellow of the Royal Society. The
first female mathematician to receive this was Mary Cartwright. In 1969, Queen
Elizabeth II of England honoured Mary Cartwright with the special title of Dame
Commander of the British Empire. Mary Cartwright, who made tremendous
achievements in mathematics, was a great example of how women can achieve in
mathematics. Mary Cartwright, a great female mathematician, passed away on
April 3, 1998, in England at the age of 97. There is no doubt that his
contributions will last forever.
