A Russian Childhood 1978th Edition by S. Kovalevskaya (PDF)

Description

In the year 1889 Sofya Vasilievna Kovalevskaya, Profes­ sor of Mathematics at the University of Stockholm, pub­ lished her recollections of growing up in mid-nineteenth century Russia. Professor Kovalevskaya was already an international celebrity, and partly for the wrong reasons: less as the distinguished mathematician she actually was than as a “mathematical lady”-a bizarre but fascinating phenomenon.* Her book was an immediate success. She had written it in Russian, but its first publication was a translation into Swedish, the language of her adopted homeland, where it appeared thinly disguised as a novel under the title From Russian Ltfe: the Rajevski Sisters (Sonja Kovalevsky. Ur ryska lifvet. Systrarna Rajevski. Heggstrom, 1889). In the following year the book came out in Russia in two *”My gifted Mathematical Assistant Mr. Hammond exclaimed … ‘Why, this is the first handsome mathematical lady I have ever seen!'” Letter to S. V. Kovalevskaya from].]. Sylvester, Professor of Mathe­ matics, New College, Oxford, Dec. 25, 1886.

⭐I have been to Zubal books many times when it was a warehouse and you were permitted to walk around and look at the books and buy them. That was a great experience for me. When I found out they were only doing sales by order, I was disappointed. I am glad to find they are selling on Amazon. I never know what I am looking for until I see it listed. It make it easy for me to put in a subject and have the books show up. Zubal is a great book seller and I would highly recommend them to anyone buying books.

⭐Es una excelente exposición de una vida enormemente sugestiva: mujer matemática de primera clase, intelectual revolucionaria, con una vidaamorosa complicada y atractica…
