“I realized that studying mathematics made me logical, precise and optimistic in life. The subject helped me gain the confidence and skills to achieve much more than I ever aspired to.” - Tabitha Rajashekar ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/tabitha-raja... #WomenInMaths #HerMathsStory

Are #quantum proofs (solutions) stronger than classical proofs? I cover this in my latest blog- bit.ly/4sv0L5j Thank you Chinmay Nirkhe, @johnbostanci.bsky.social Andrew Huang, John Wright, Fermi Ma & Anand Natarajan for the engaging chat! #ComplexityTheory #TheoreticalComputerScience

Check out our latest blog post by Shreya Roychoudhury, the founder of Mathemagica (Instagram: @math.emagica): “I am an engineer, a founder, and a woman who refuses to be subtracted from the equation.” ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/the-magic-in... #Teaching #WomenInSTEM #WomenInTech #HerMathsStory

“(...) what I like most about mathematics: there is room for many different trajectories, as long as you keep following questions that genuinely interest you.” - Mikaela Iacobelli ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/mikaela-iaco... #MathematicalPhysics #PDEs #KineticTheory #HerMathsStory @ethz.ch

A first musical output of my research project on the reconstruction of degraded medieval sheet music, combining advanced imaging and processing in collaboration with expert musicologists and singers. Massive thanks to everyone involved 🫶 @caiuscollege.bsky.social youtu.be/t0OzKoAYVdM

I love going on the hunt for heart motifs in #math processes. Here's our try from a recent Bridges #MathArt paper. ms-math-computer.science/preprint/202...

This was a fun piece to write! I learnt quite a bit about the evolution of #math symbols while working on it. Thank you Alex Bellos, Amir Alexander, Kate Kitagawa, Raul Rojas & @sarah-hart.bsky.social for the nice conversations. #algebra #MathHistory #geometry

#Efeméride La matemática Rózsa Péter (1905-1977) nació un 17 de febrero. Es conocida por sus trabajos sobre la teoría de funciones recursivas.

Third week of retirement and Lothar is doing much better. The sun is shining and the research project I came up with (to distract him) is going well, just like our first paper together. FIngers crossed we can finish this as fast. In theory it could go on arxiv for our 35th anniversary 🥰. 1/2

La Matematica’s ‘Tensor Methods’ collection is issuing its second call for papers! Explore work already published in the collection and learn more about submitting your paper here: link.springer.com/collections/...

Another highlight from the #illustratingMath trimester at the Institut Henri Poincaré this month was a visit to the @palaisdecouverte.bsky.social . We had a great time with Robin, who showed us the different items from their mathematical cabinet of curiosities. Visit them if you have the chance!

100 % agree, especially for #firstgen students support networks & mentoring programmes can make a huge difference. 🤍

“Becoming part of a mentoring scheme is also some of the advice I would give to my 18-year-old self too — to look out for networking opportunities and mentorship programmes; to find people who have chosen a similar path.” - Christina Runkel ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/christina-ru... #HerMathsStory

5 years ago today, Her Maths Story went live with our 1st story. What started as a small idea has grown into a global, supportive community celebrating #WomenInMaths. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who has shared, read, supported & believed in this journey. Here’s to the stories still to come 💛✨

800 followers 🤩 It's great to see so many people interested in #illustratingMath and #MathArt. This year is off to a great start with the trimester at the IHP in Paris. Will deliver regular updates on our activities here. Please tell a friend if you think they'd be interested in this content.

Sonia Kovalévskaya (1850-1891) nació tal día como hoy, hace 176 años

"I read a lot of mathematical literature and noticed with regret that, over the course of history, presentations had become more sober and formal, and that human emotions and accompanying epistemological considerations had been largely stripped away in the face of mathematical discoveries." 👈

“(...) It is possible to create an authentic picture of #mathematics and convey an impression of how mathematics forms its own world of well-ordered structures with a striking internal consistency (...)” - Lisa Hefendehl-Hebeker ➡️ hermathsstory.eu/lisa-hefende... #HerMathsStory

One of our founders is posting about Her Maths Story on this fantastic #scicomm account, where each week, a different scientist posts about their work. @realscientists.de @realscientists.bsky.social

After a cosy winter break, Her Maths Story is kicking off the new year - and we’re excited to welcome Marta Lazzaretti to the team who will be taking care of our social media channels. Here’s to a new chapter and a great year ahead 💜 #hermathsstory

TIL that @hermathsstory.bsky.social exists and it's a wonderful platform. Please give them a follow if you care about #DEI in #math.

#MathSky #JMM2026 It is 4 weeks until Feb. 1, better known as the AWM/MfA Essay Contest deadline! That's plenty of time for a student to interview a mathematician whose gender is underrepresented in math and write an essay about them. Contest rules below:

Maryna Viazovska, Марина Вязовська, is a mathematician known for her work on sphere packing in various dimensions. In 2022, she became only the second woman to win the Fields Medal. adalovelaceday.subst...
