Vera Myller-Lebedev[a] (1 December 1880 – 12 December 1970) was a Russian-born mathematician who earned her doctorate in Germany with David Hilbert and became the first female university professor in Romania.
Education
[edit]Vera Lebedev was born in Saint Petersburg and educated in Novgorod. From 1897 through 1902 she participated in the Bestuzhev Courses in Saint Petersburg.[1] She then traveled to the University of Göttingen, where she completed a doctorate in 1906 under the supervision of David Hilbert. Her dissertation was Die Theorie der Integralgleichungen in Anwendungen auf einige Reihenentwickelungen, and concerned integral equations.[2]
Marriage and career
[edit]In Göttingen, she met Romanian mathematician Alexander Myller.[1] She married him in 1907,[3] moved with him to Romania, enrolled in the University of Iași, and in 1910 joined the mathematics faculty there. In 1918 she was promoted to full professor,[1][3] becoming Romania's first female professor.[3][4]
She died in Iași in 1970, and is buried at the city's Eternitatea Cemetery.[5]
Contributions
[edit]She wrote Romanian-language textbooks on algebra (1942) and algebraic applications of group theory (1945),[4] and won the Romanian State Prize in 1953 for her algebra text.[1]
