Maria Wonenburger, is a Galician mathematician who made her first studies in 1927 with the difficulty of the Civil War, in 1945, went to the Central University of Madrid, Madrid, in 1967 moved to Indiana University and in 1983 for family reasons Left everything and returned to Spain
Maria was born in A Coruña in 1927 and she died in the 14, 2014, in a Coruña, Spain at the age of 86. She was a member of the Mathematics Department here at Indiana University from 1967 to 1983. She obtained her undergraduate degree from the Universidad Central de Madrid in 1950. She had a passion for mathematics from an early age, though her parents wanted her to study engineering so that she could participate in the family business, a foundry. After completing her undergraduate studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid, now known as Complutense University of Madrid, she began her doctoral work there. A Fulbright scholar, her studies took her to Yale University where she completed her Ph.D. in 1957 under Nathan Jacobson. She returned to Spain three years later with a scholarship to Instituto de Matemáticas Jorge Juan del CSIC. At the end of the grant, she moved to Canada where her first PhD student was Robert Moody.[2] In 1966, she moved to the United States to teach at the University of Buffalo, and the following year, in 1967, she received a permanent post as a professor at the University of Indiana, where she remained until 1983. Because of her mother's illness, she returned to La Coruña in 1983, and remained away from the academic world, except some sporadic collaboration with institutions such as AGAPEMA. Her research mainly focused on group theory and the theory of Lie algebras. She studied the orthogonal group and its corresponding projective group. She directed eight doctoral theses; in addition to Moody, her students included Stephen Berman, Bette Warren, Edward George Gibson, and Richard Lawrence Marcuson.
i think Maria Wonenburger is a big example to all women , she demostrated that if you are a woman, you can also make your dreams come true because the womans are also humans too, and that´s what many people don´t understand because , they think that woman were born or made to stay at home, taking care of the childrens or to serve under a man or neither depend on them.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Kevin! You've chosen important moments in María's life. I guess you've read carefully the information on the webpages.Good work!
DeleteWell, I know it, am here a bit late, but with desire of doing this so ... we are going to do it!
ReplyDelete:-)Who are you?
ReplyDeleteMaría is a good mathematics. Now, I now who was María Wonenburger and her history.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Eunice! I agree with you. María is an example and I think we should help to let the world know women like her!
