She began college majoring in mathematics, in order to receive public school teaching credentials, but later transferred to the University of California at Berkeley as her interest shifted to research mathematics. She received her BA in 1940 and began her graduate studies after discovering that potential employers were more interested in her typing skills than her mathematics. At Berkeley, she studied number theory with Raphael M. Robinson. They married in 1941, after which nepotism rules prohibited her from teaching as a graduate assistant in Berkeley's mathematics department. In 1947, she began work with the logician Alfred Tarski for her doctorate, which she received in 1948. Her thesis showed that the notion of an integer can be defined arithmetically in terms of the notion of a rational number and the operations of addition and multiplication on the rationals. The arithmetic of rationals is therefore adequate for the formulation of all problems of elementary number theory. In 1975, Robinson became the first woman mathematician to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and, in 1983, she became the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society. Her other honors included election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a grant from the MacArthur Foundation, and an honorary degree from Smith College. She died in 1985.

Julia Robinson (1919-1985)
Julia Robinson will be most remembered for her contributions to the solution of Hilbert's Tenth Problem, a problem which asked if there was an algorithm that would solve all Diophantine equations. She received many honors for her work which was on the borderline of logic and number theory:
  • In 1975 she was the first woman mathematician elected to the National Academy of the Sciences.
  • In 1980 she delivered the AMS Colloquium Lectures.
  • In 1983 she was chosen to be a MacArthur fellow
  • In 1975 was elected to be the first woman president of the AMS.
Julia Robinson is an excellent subject for a biography. A good deal has been written about her life, so it is easy to obtain information about her. She was an interesting person who overcame adversity to achieve success in mathematics. In addition the mathematical problems that she worked on are relatively easy to understand (but you will have to work hard to understand the details of her work). Here are a few references to get you started:

It is an ideal book to show bright high school students. -Mathematics Competitions The book is a rich and really interesting source of information on the life and scientific work of Julia Robinson. -Math Reivews What strikes the reader...more than anything else is the great love the two sisters have for each other. With the help of a text profusely illustrated with snapshots from a cherished album, we enter the life of an ordinary family, and suddenly we realize that no family is ordinary. -Mathematics Teacher In high school Julia Bowman stood alone as the only girl-and the best student-in the junior and senior math classes. She had only one close friend and no boyfriends. Although she was to learn (from E. T. Bell's Men of Mathematics ) that there are such people as mathematicians, her ambition was merely to get a job teaching mathematics in high school.

    Robinson, Julia (1919-1985)

    This entry contributed by Margherita Barile American mathematician Julia H. Bowman was born in Missouri, and spent her early childhood in Arizona, before settling down in San Diego, California. At the age of nine, she contracted a rheumatic fever that would have longstanding consequences on her health. Her scientific education began in high school, where she was the only girl to take mathematics and physics classes. She excelled in both and received awards. She studied mathematics together with her sister Constance, who later became a journalist and biographer of mathematicians, at the San Diego State College. After graduating, Julia moved to Berkeley. There she met Raphael Robinson, her lecturer in number theory, and the two were married in late 1941. Being the wife of a professor would by no means facilitate her academic career. On the contrary, it kept her away from her favorite subject, mathematics, since an university rule prevented married couples from working in the same department. Hence Julia remained confined in the statistics lab through all the years of her teaching assistantship. Her first published paper was General Recursive Functions (Princeton, 1947). In 1948, she received her Ph.D. under the supervision of A. Tarski with her thesis

    Julia was born on December 8, 1919 in St. Louis, Missouri. When she was two, her mother died and she went to live with her grandma in Arizona. Her father later got remarried and moved the family to California. When Robinson was ten she had rheumatic fever and had to spend a year in bed. She studied with a tutor to make up for the time she had missed. She re-entered the ninth grade with a strong interest in mathematics. At the age of seventeen, Robinson attended San Diego State College. She majored in mathematics and prepared for a teaching career. Her father lost most of his money in the Great Depression and committed suicide. Robinson then received financial support from her aunt and her older sister. She transferred to the University of California – Berkley for her senior year and stayed there for graduate school. In December of 1941, during her second year of graduate school, she married one of her professors, Raphael Robinson. During WWII she worked in the Berkley Statistical Laboratory on secret military projects. After her marriage she focused on having a family.

    "I think that I have always had a basic liking for the natural numbers. To me they are the one real thing. We can conceive of a chemistry that is different from ours, or a biology, but we cannot conceive of a different mathematics of numbers. What is proved about numbers will be a fact in any universe." First woman mathematician elected to the National Academy of Sciences. First woman president of the American Mathematical Society. MacArthur award. Contributed to the solution of Hilbert's Tenth Problem.
    In 1900, at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, David Hilbert (1862-1943), the most influential mathematician of his time, posed 23 open problems , whose solutions, he deemed, would be of the most profound significance to the advancement of mathematics. These problems have challenged many of the best mathematical minds of the twentieth century. Solving one of Hilbert's problems is often enough to secure the solver's mathematical reputation. Julia Robinson was one of three mathematicians whose combined work settled the tenth problem on Hilbert's list: Find an effective way to determine whether a polynomial equation with integer coefficients and one or more unknowns has any integer solutions. (Sort of like the quadratic formula.)

    Julia Robinson was born in St. Louis, Missouri on December 8, 1919 to Ralph Bowers Bowman and Helen Hall Bowman. When she was two years old her mother died and the family was sent to Phoenix, Arizona to live with a grandmother. In the fall of 1925, the family moved again to Point Loma on San Diego Bay. Julia received her elementary and secondary education in the San Diego public schools. In 1936 she began her college career at San Diego State College, majoring in mathematics and transferring to Berkeley for her senior year. She received three degrees from Berkeley: A.B. 1940, M.A. 1941, and Ph.D. in 1948. In 1941 she married Raphael Robinson, who had taught her number theory at Berkeley. In all, Robinson published 25 papers. Her first four papers dealt with probability theory, game theory, the subject of her dissertation, and the theory of recursive functions. Robinson's fifth paper was her first step along a road that led her to fame, and she followed it with eight other papers that brought her very far along the same roadalthough not quite to the end. These papers were successive efforts to solve "Hilbert's tenth problem"; this terminology refers to a list of 23 problems proposed at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in 1900 by David Hilbert, generally acknowledged to be the greatest mathematician of his time. Hilbert's list of problems provided a framework for a vast amount of the mathematical research of our century.

    Raphael Mitchel Robinson, Mathematics: Berkeley
    Raphael Mitchel Robinson, Mathematics: Berkeley
    Professor Emeritus
    Raphael M. Robinson contributed to astonishingly diverse areas of mathematics. He was born on November 2, 1911, in National City, California, and was the youngest of the four children of Bertram H. Robinson, an atypically peripatetic lawyer who wrote poetry, gave his sons romantic names, and ultimately drifted away. His mother, Bessie Stevenson Robinson, supported the family as an elementary school teacher. Robinson attended the University of California at Berkeley, where he took a B.A. in 1932, an M.A. in 1933, and a Ph.D. in December 1934. His dissertation was in the field of complex analysis. During the Depression he considered himself lucky to obtain a half-time instructorship at Brown University, but his stay there was plagued by poverty and resultant tuberculosis. In 1937, he returned happily to Berkeley as an instructor, becoming a full professor in 1949 and emeritus in 1973. He was an excellent teacher, having a thorough knowledge of much of classical and modern mathematics so well organized in his mind that he could explain it with exceptional clarity. In a number theory class in 1939 he had among his students Julia Bowman. Their courtship took place on long walks during which he educated her in modern mathematics. They were married in December 1941. At the end of her life, when she had become the first woman mathematician elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society, she said she doubted that she would have become a mathematician if it had not been for him: "He taught me and has continued to teach me, has encouraged me, and has supported me in many ways."

    Julia Robinson
    Julia Bowman Robinson was born on December 8, 1919, in St. Louis. She received her A. B. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley, and married the mathematician Raphael Robinson. In 1948, she received her Ph. D. in mathematics under Tarski. Julia Robinson's most famous work involves Hilbert 's tenth problem, which asked for a procedure for deciding if a Diophantine equation had a solution in integers. Together with Martin Davis and Hilary Putnam, she nearly completed the (negative) solution of this problem, but one crucial piece was missing. That piece was supplied by the Russian mathematician Yuri Matijasevic in 1970 at the age of 22. In 1975, she became the first woman mathematician to be elected to the US National Academy of Sciences. At the time of her election, she did not hold a faculty position anywhere, but after the award, UC Berkeley offered her a full professorship. Julia Robinson died of leukemia on July 30, 1985.

    Born: Dec 8, 1919, St Louis, Missouri, USA. Died: July 30, 1985 in USA Julia Bowman's mother died when she was two years old and her father, retiring a year later, moved to Arizona and then later to San Diego. Her schooling was disrupted by a year off school with scarlet fever at age nine. After graduating from San Diego High School she entered San Diego State College. Later she transferred to the University of California at Berkeley. There she became Jerzy Neyman's assistant but after marrying an assistant professor of mathematics there, Raphael Robinson, she was no longer allowed to teach in the mathematics department. She left mathematics at this time. In 1946 she visited Princeton and took up mathematics again, working for a doctorate under Alfred Tarski's supervision. In her thesis she proved that the arithmetic of rational numbers is undecidable by giving an arithmetical definition of the integers in the rationals. Robinson was awarded a doctorate in 1948 and that same year started work on Hilbert's Tenth Problem: find an effective way to determine whether a Diophantine equation is soluble. Along with Martin Davis and Hilary Putman she gave a fundamental result which contributed to the solution to Hilbert's Tenth Problem. She also did important work on that problem with Matijasevic after he gave the solution in 1970.

    Deaths Raphael Robinson,
    retired mathematics professor and a self-described "old-fashioned" mathematician who tackled neglected problems in a broad range of fields, died Jan. 27 at age 83. In an age of specialization, Robinson switched fields frequently over six decades, making significant contributions to such diverse areas as logic, set theory, combinatorial mathematics, aspects of geometry, complex analysis and number theory. He was among the first to use computers to obtain results in pure mathematics, anticipating most of the mathematical community by 20 years. In 1952 he wrote the first program to factor a large prime number. Robinson was actively working and contributing new mathematics into his 80s. He published several joint papers with his wife, Julia Bowman Robinson. Raphael Robinson received his BA (1932), MA (1933) and PhD (1935) in mathematics from Berkeley. He was promoted to full professor in 1949 and retired in 1973. Except for a few private bequests, Robinson's estate will go into the Julia B. Robinson Memorial Fellowship Fund, which he established after her death to assist graduate students in mathematics at Berkeley. Checks in his remembrance may be sent to the Robinson Fund, mathematics department, UC Berkeley, CA 94720-3840.

The essays are arranged alphabetically by the women's best-known professional names. A better arrangement would have been by the periods within which the women worked; an approximation to that can be achieved by using the list in Appendix A of the included women ordered by birthdate. With its many appendices and its two good indexes, the bibliographic structure of this book is excellent. This together with its reviews of the work of many less-known women mathematicians makes it a valuable contribution to the history of mathematics.
