She was not only a preeminent mathematician and writer, but also a dedicated women’s rights advocate. She opened the door for women in the world of science and left a legacy of new mathematical ideas, work, and solidified a new place for women in the world of mathematics, which is still relevant today. In order to understand her contribution to a world dominated by …show more content…
The world of sciences and mathematics was no longer a world just for men. Furthermore, she published many journals on the topic of calculus, mathematics, and a novel called “Nihilist Girl”
Soon after obtaining her doctorate she was invited by a former student of Weierstrass, (Gosta Mittag-Leffler,) to give lectures at the University of Stockholm. After five years providing guidance and lectures, she solidified her tenure and was asked to become an editor for a mathematics journal, she then published her first paper on the topic of crystals, and in the year of 1885, was also appointed to the position of “Chair of Mechanics department” Sophia was well known for all of her accomplishments and for all the great influence in her education.
