Today, May 12, is the day to celebrate Women in Mathematics.

To celebrate Hipatia, Greek mathematician, is the first mathematician woman who wrote about geometry, algebra and astronomy.

To celebrate Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Italian mathematician, disseminator of calculus, the first woman to write a mathematical treatise (Institutzione analítiche 1978) and the first woman to be appointed professor at a university.

To celebrate Ada Lovelace, English mathematician worked on Charles Babbage's calculator, known as the analytical machine. She was the first to develop what is known as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine, and is regarded as the first computer programmer.

To celebrate Florence Nightingale, English statician and nurse, considered a Pioneer of modern nursing. She created a novel polar area diagram, also known as the coxcomb diagram.

To celebrate Sofia Kovalévskaya, Russian mathematician who made important contributions to analysis, partial differential equations and mechanics.

To celebrate Emmy Noether, German mathematician, considered the mother of abstract algebra.

To celebrate Marie Skłodowska-Curie, which was not a mathematician by training, but used mathematics along her career.

To celebrate Ida Rhodes, Ukrainian mathematician Pioneer in the analysis of programming systems and designed the C-10 programming language.
To celebrate Dorothy Vaughan, African-American mathematician, worked at NACA before NASA, expert in the FORTRAN programming language and on the SCOUT satellite launch project. First African-American supervisor and manager at NASA.

To celebrate Katherine Johnson, African-American physicist, space scientist and mathematician who contributed to US aeronautics and space programmes with the early application of digital electronic computers at NASA.

To celebrate Maryam Mirzakhani, Iranian mathematician, who in 2014 was the first woman and Iranian awarded the Fields Medal for her work on the study of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. This prize, equivalent to the 'Nobel' of mathematics.

To celebrate the anonymous women scientists

To celebrate the woman researchers and the girls to be

To celebrate the women that inspire us

And to recognize all their research and work impact in the community.

About the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics – BCAM

The Basque Center for Applied Mathematics - BCAM is an international research centre in the field of Applied Mathematics and a centre promoted by the Department of Education of the Basque Government, which is part of the BERC network (Basque Excellence Research Centers). It was created in 2008 by the Basque Government through Ikerbasque. It also has the support of the UPV/EHU, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, Innobasque and Petronor Innovacion. One of its main objectives is to put mathematics at the service of society through the transfer of knowledge, extending the results of its research to sectors such as biosciences, health, energy or advanced manufacturing, and working jointly with local and international institutions and companies.

It currently has a staff of more than 120 researchers of 25 nationalities working in diverse areas, from data science or computational mathematics to mathematical modelling. BCAM has been accredited twice in a row as a "Severo Ochoa" centre of excellence by the State Research Agency, a distinction awarded to the best research institutions in the world in their field.
