Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize. </p><p>IBM Research was recruiting teachers 🧵1/n</p><p><a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>printmaking</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/womenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>womenInSTEM</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/histSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>histSci</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/mathematician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mathematician</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/sciart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sciart</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/compsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>compsci</span></a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/mastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastoArt</span></a></p>

#OnThisDay British #Mathematician Andrew Wiles proved last #Theorem of #Fermat (1993).
Birth Anniversary of #French #Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre (1905) - one of the leading figures in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism.
#OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of John Nash (1928) - American mathematician who made fundamental contributions to #GameTheory, and Scottish #Mathematician James Clerk Maxwell (1831). Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics".
Birth Anniversary of "#FlyingFinn" Paavo Nurmi (1897) and #Irish #Poet W. B. Yeats (1865).
Happy Birthday #CaptainAmerica Chris Evans (1981).
Happy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.

Happy birthday #mathematician Henri Poincaré
(1854-1912), here in my Cubist #linocut portrait.
This print is about how movements in art can be connected with contemporary #math & #physics. Specifically, the way #Cubism breaks from a single favoured perspective or absolute frame of reference & breaks down subjects into geometrical shapes from multiple points of view can be tied to advancements in non-Euclidian geometry in math & special
Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).
Born Phoebe Sarah Marks, she was the 3rd of 8 children
Happy birthday to #mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925). This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of pale yellow-green to darker blue-green on paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip.

#OnThisDay Birth Anniversary of #Mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707) - responsible for developing many concepts that are an integral part of modern #Mathematics.
Birth Anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci (1452) - widely considered one of the #Greatest #Painters of all time.
Today is World #ArtDay.
Contrary to popular belief, #mathematician s and theoretical #physicist s don't just discuss their theories on blackboards all day, but much of the research in practice involves #software and coding. Recently, I started using #PariGP , which is an #opensource algebra system that has existed since the 1980s but is still being actively developed today. It has amazing abilities in the realm of number theory, all sorts of modulus and p-adic computations, etc. I use it because it is very fast in handling power series and polynomials. Of course, it can deal with big rational numbers and arbitrary precision float.
I recommend reading the "GP tutorial" pdf. It is one of the most entertaining tutorials I have done in a long time, written in a subtle funny way

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. 1/n
