Remembering Olga Taussky Todd
Written by Chandler Davis, University of Toronto
Reprinted from the AWM Newsletter, January-February, 1996, Volume 26, #1, with permission of the author and the Association of Women in Mathematics. The field she is most identified with which might be called "linear algebra and applications" through "real and complex matrix theory" would be preferred by some did not exist in the 1930's, despite the textbook by C.C. MacDuffee. Her stature in that field is the very highest, as was palpable in the standing ovation after her survey talk at the second Raleigh conference in 1982. In tracing her professional development, I will say a little about how the field came together. Like other Jews in Germany and Austria, Olga Taussky would have had to leave by about 1938. Some delayed as long as they could; some, too long. She left in 1934. She moved, after a year at Bryn Mawr, to Girton College Cambridge, and remained in England until after World War II. It is amusing to hear the story of her job interview, where a member of the committee asked her, with motivation we can imagine, "I see you have written several joint papers. Were you the senior or the junior author?" Another member of the committee was G.H. Hardy, who interjected, "That is a most improper question. Do not answer it!" At another interview she was asked, "I see you have collaborated with some men, but with no women. Why?" Olga replied that that was why she was applying for a position in a women's college!

Olga Taussky-Todd 's name before she married was Olga Taussky and she was born into a Jewish family. Her father, Julius David Taussky, was an industrial chemist who also wrote articles for a newspaper. Her mother, Ida Pollach, was never trained for anything other than being a housewife and looking after her children. Olga was the middle child of three girls, with three years separating her both from her older sister and from her younger sister. Of her parents she wrote [1]:- My father was a very interesting man, very active, very creative. ... My mother was a country girl ... a rather quiet lady ... educated to be a housewife ... When Olga was three years old the family moved to Vienna. There Olga attended primary school and although she did well, her older sister was the star pupil. Olga received the top or second top grade for arithmetic but her favourite subjects were essay writing and grammar. In addition to her schooling she had private music lessons. When World War I broke out conditions became very difficult indeed in Vienna, there was severe shortages of food and the family were near to starving. In 1916 the Taussky family moved again, this time to Linz where Olga's father had a job as director of a vinegar factory which, in addition to vinegar made jams and soft drinks. Julius Taussky was well qualifed for the job for he had coauthored a text on vinegar with his own father Samuel Taussky in 1903. Arriving in Linz in the middle of World War I, life was still hard for them but food, although still scare, was slightly more plentiful than in Vienna. When she was 14 years old Olga entered the high school where she spent a year before studying at the Gymnasium. At this stage she was still interested in writing and poetry, and initially the Latin that she began to study at the Gymnasium fascinated her, particularly Latin grammar. Suddenly, however, her interests moved to mathematics [1]:-

Olga Taussky-Todd
When Olga Taussky (she became Taussky-Todd after marrying Jack Todd) was three years old the family moved to Vienna. Then in 1916 the family moved again, this time to Linz. Olga's father died while she was still at school so it was hard to fund her through university. However she entered the University of Vienna and, after initially studying chemistry, took up mathematics. In 1932-1933 Taussky tutored in Vienna, then she spent a year at Bryn Mawr before taking up a research fellowship from Girton College, Cambridge in 1935. Hardy helped her to obtain a teaching post in a London college in 1937 where she soon met Jack (John Todd). They were married the following year. During World War II Olga and Jack moved from place to place. While teaching near Oxford she supervised Hanna Neumann's D.Phil. thesis on combinatorial group theory. In 1947 Olga and Jack when to the USA and worked at the National Bureau of Standards' National Applied Mathematics Laboratory. Here she worked with computers and has been described as a computer pioneer ... who provided significant contributions to solutions of problems associated with applications of computers.

The Return of
Women of Mathematics
Once again this term I hope to motivate and enlighten you with the tales of women mathematicians. We begin this term's series on a positive note. The story of Olga Taussky-Todd is not one of discrimination and sexism, but of a brilliant woman whose life was filled with inspired mathematics, and wonderful collaborations. Taussky contributed to many areas of number theory and matrix theory, and did much fundamental work on Hilbert's 19th problem on sums of squares. Based on this thesis she was invited to Gottingen to edit Hilbert's work. While at Gottingen she was kept busy with teaching duties. She was able to work with many mathematicians here, including Emmy Noether. Political tensions arose around this time, and like many other Jewish intellectuals, she left Germany. She returned to Vienna briefly to work again with Hahn and Menger, and subsequently worked briefly at Bryn Mawr College. There she was reunited with Emmy Noether. In 1935 she returned to Europe as part of a science fellowship. However, no one shared her interests at Girton College Cambridge. The female head of Girton college insisted that students avoid working under Taussky. In her opinion, it would be damaging to their career to have a woman supervisor. Two years later she succeeded in obtaining a junior level teaching position at Westfield College. It was there that she began a collaborative relationship with John Todd. They were married in 1938. In 1943 Taussky took on a research position in aerodynamics with the Ministry of Aircraft production in the ``Flutter Group'' at the National Physical Laboratory. The problem reduced to stability problems of a certain matrix. It was there that Taussky developed interest in matrix theory. In 1947 she and her husband accepted positions at the National Bureau of Standards in the United States. During this time she wrote several papers and lectured at Caltech.

Hanlon, K. Ribet and H. Shapiro, and we thank them for their contributions. It was decided soon after to have additional contributors to the special issue. We thank the editorial board of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics (PJM), and Alice Chang in particular, for enthusiastically supporting us in this endeavor, and for speeding up the publication. All the articles in this issue were thoroughly refereed, and we thank the unnamed referees for their careful and timely job. Every article, except for one - by H. Kisilevsky on a part of Olga's work, is a research paper. We thank all the authors, first for contributing to the issue, and then for putting up with our demands for revision. The articles by R.P. Langlands and I. Piatetski-Shapiro have widely circulated for many years as oft-quoted preprints, and we thank them for allowing their publication here. We thank Julie Honig of PJM for her constant help. Thanks are also due to Vladimir Frenkel of the International Press, and Marge D'Elia, Jackie Cassidy, Kyle Gary and Gloria Cousins of Caltech for their assistance. We thank John Todd for his keen interest and for providing us with a copy of the photograph of Olga, taken by T. Apostol in 1978, which appears on the first page of the issue. We thank R.

    17. The Woman Behind The Matrix: Olga Taussky-Todd

    The Woman Behind the Matrix: Olga Taussky-Todd By: Michelle Harrity Brewer Introduction In the fall of 1999, I participated in Women in Mathematics, a class taught at Appalachian State University by Dr. Sarah Greenwald. We took a comprehensive look of the role of women in the history of mathematics. We analyzed gender and equity issues, and how they play out in the classroom. Women are the unheard voice of history. Today, they are still unequally represented in the public realm, especially in the field of mathematics. This paper, and those of my colleagues, is one effort to bridge the gap. One such notable woman is Olga Taussky-Todd. At an early age, she fought for an education when most women were being kept silent and at home. Mathematics paid her way through life, brought her to her husband, and sent her around the world and back. She made a lasting effect in the field of matrix theory and number theory. Her work led her to help in the war effort, and to inspire a generation of students. Olga said that there was one thing that sparked her interest in math and kept it there, the interconnectedness of numbers. She still connects us today. Biographical Information

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS Question 1 Olga Taussky was born in 1906 in the present day Czech Republic. Her family placed great value in her education and that of her two sisters. Olga's father wished that his daughters would follow artistic careers. Olga excelled in essay writing, grammar, music composition and in her free time she wrote poetry. Eventually all three girls ended up in science. Olga's direction in mathematics was beginning to take form in her high school years. She remembers a significant moment during a conversation with a family friend - a woman much older than Olga - who had hoped to study mathematics: "That was more than I could take.
