The Sonia Kovalevsky Day is an all-day, all-math event in April for middle and high school students designed to empower the next generation of women in STEM! All are welcome to attend.
About Sonia Kovalevsky
Sonia Kovalevsky was a Russian mathematician who made noteworthy contributions to analysis, partial differential equations and mechanics. She was a pioneer for women in mathematics around the world – the first woman to obtain a doctorate (in the modern sense) in mathematics, the first woman appointed to a full professorship in Northern Europe and one of the first women to work for a scientific journal as an editor.
