Résumé :Roger Mansuy nous propose de découvrir ou redécouvrir la mathématicienne britannique Charlotte Angas Scott ( ). Malgré les oppositions misogynes habituelles de ce milieu scientifique anglais à cette époque, et grâce à l'appui d'Arthur Cayley, elle réussit à se faire sa place dans un monde universitaire très masculin. Mais pour pouvoir enseigner et trouver un poste correspondant à ses titres elle dut s'expatrier aux États-Unis. Bien qu'ayant fait des études brillantes et une belle carrière sa notoriété semble ne pas dépasser l'espace culturel anglo-saxon,
Charlotte Angas Scott,
Pionnière de la géométrie algébrique, spécialiste des courbes et surfaces, la mathématicienne britannique Charlotte Angas Scott a dû s’exiler aux États-Unis pour trouver un poste universitaire. Son fait de gloire est d’avoir proposé une élégante démonstration à un difficile théorème de Max Noether.
Le 8 août est un jour singulier dans l’histoire de la communauté mathématique. Ce dimanche à Zurich (Suisse), deux cent mathématiciens en provenance du monde entier se rassemblent dans la toute récente salle symphonique pour inaugurer le premier Congrès international des mathématiciens. L’Allemand Adolf Hurwitz (‒), professeur à l’École polytechnique fédérale de Zurich et l’un des organisateurs, salue cette savante assemblée d’un amical « Hochverehrte auswärtige Kolleginen und Kollegen », ce qui signifie, dans la langue de Molière, « chers collègues étrangers », mais avec une formule étonnamment inclusive. Doublement étonnante, à vrai dire :
Scott, Charlotte Angas (–)
English mathematician and educator. Born Charlotte Angas Scott on June 8, , in Lincoln, England; died on November 8, , in Cambridge, England; daughter of Caleb Scott (an educator and minister) and Eliza Ann Exley Scott; received private primary and secondary education; Girton College of Cambridge University, honors degree, ; University of London, B.S., , ,
Charlotte Angas Scott was born in in Lincoln, England. Her parents instilled in her a love of learning through a private education, and she entered Girton College of Cambridge University in Even though women could not receive Cambridge degrees, they could take final examinations on an informal basis. Scott finished in eighth place in the mathematics tests in , the highest score recorded for a woman. However, her score was not included at commencement, and she was not allowed to attend the ceremony, although she received an honors degree from Girton. Scott lectured in math at Girton from to while studying at the University of London. She earned a B.S. in and a in
Soon after she graduated, Scott became the only woman of six faculty members at the newly formed Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania
