Books
The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math - nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman - nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve - still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations.
