Extractions: "As a child growing up in the thirties in Washington, D.C., I was aware that segregation placed many limitations on Negroes, ... However, daily one came in contact with Negroes who had made a place for themselves in society; we heard about and read about individuals whose achievements were contributing to the good of all people. These individuals, men and women, served as our role models; we looked up to them and we set out goals to be like them. We accepted education as the means to rise above the limitations that a prejudiced society endeavoured to place upon us. "

BIOGRAPHIES BRING HISTORY TO LIFE BIOGRAPHIES BRING HISTORY TO LIFE From these articles you will write the biography of Ms. evelyn Boyd granville, thefirst black women to receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1949, years before http://www.manteno.k12.il.us/webquest/high/Math/AreMathLNerds/biograph.htm
Extractions: B IOGRAPHIES BRING HISTORY TO LIFE ARE MATH LOVERS NERDS ? By Michele Courtney OVERVIEW History is nothing more than groups of biographies interrelated over a period of time. A Biography is the the story of someone's life. A good biography brings a person to life and helps us understand what it would have been like to walk in their shoes. A good biography should be more than a bunch of details in paragraph form. Breaking down history into biographies makes the subject more interesting and they break the bigger historical story down into digestible tid bits.Your job is to learn about what makes a good biographical story and how to tell it.There are four article links in this quest. You will learn the difference between formats and styles of an autobiographical article(a self written biography), magazine interview and an award introduction. From these articles you will write the biography of Ms. Evelyn Boyd Granville, the first black women to receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1949, years before the civil rights movement. INTRODUCTION In this webquest you will create a biographical story about Evelyn Boyd Granville written as a two page, grammatically correct paper.
A Proof That Math Opens Doors Interview / evelyn granville AHEAD OF HER TIME evelyn granville was the firstAfricanAmerican woman in the US to earn a PhD in math, from Yale in 1949. http://csmweb2.emcweb.com/durable/2000/05/16/p20s1.htm
Extractions: Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor NEW HAVEN, CONN. Don't tell Evelyn Boyd Granville that math lovers are nerds. This child of the Great Depression and daughter of a janitor has a mission: neutralize the belief among today's students that being good at math makes you a social misfit. Web special: The Math Meltdown "There's a lot of peer pressure to be cool, to be like the rest of the crowd - and this whole word they've invented, 'nerd,' didn't exist in my day, thank goodness," says Ms. Granville, the first black woman in America to earn a PhD in mathematics, from Yale University in 1949. "You could be great at music at a young age, and nobody looks upon you as weird ... do they? We must get beyond this for mathematics. And I think we can." Granville didn't have an easy start. She attended a segregated school in the US capital and grew up poor. But she decided, even as a grade-schooler solving math problems in her head for fun, that everything would come out right if she stuck with math. And it has.

Extractions: Evelyn Boyd Granville was born and raised in Washington, D.C. on May 1, 1924. Evelyn's parents were William and Julia Boyd. For many years Evelyn's father William had many jobs to support the family such as a janitor in a large apartment building, a chauffeur and a messenger for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.). Her mother Julia stayed at home caring for Evelyn and her sisters. After her parents separated, her mom worked at the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing. During the summer Evelyn worked as a mathematician at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, and they helped pay for her schooling. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was a member of Sigma Xi her senior year. She graduated summa cum laude from Smith College in 1945, with honors in mathematics. She was able to start her graduate study in the fall, because of a scholarship from the Smith Student Aid Society. Evelyn Boyd was accepted to two graduate schools, the University of Michigan and Yale University. She chose Yale because they provided her with a scholarship for financial aid. During her years at Yale she was awarded twice the Julius Rosenwald Fellowship. Her last year at Yale she was granted an Atomic Energy Commission Predoctoral Fellowship. That award enabled her to continue her study for her Ph.D. degree in mathematics. The teacher at Yale, Dr. Einar Hille, a distinguished mathematician in the field of functional analysis, as Evelyn's research advisor. Dr. Einar Hille helped Evelyn through Yale, by encouraging her to do her best. She finished her Ph.D. in 1949 from Yale and became the first African-American woman to receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics.Written by:

Extractions: First African-American Females to Earn Ph.D. in Mathematics Marjorie Lee Browne was born in Memphis, Tennessee on September 9, 1914. Her father attended college (Memphis) in 1914, something which was quite rare in that day, and was apparently quite adept at 'mental mathematics.' He imparted his enthusiasm for mathematics to his daughter Marjorie. He had Marjorie enrolled in LeMoyne High School, a private Methodist school started after the Civil War to educate Negroes. Marjorie's father earned enough working as a railway postal clerk to send her to the best school available at the time. She eventually attended Howard University through a combination of scholarships, jobs and loans even though her college years ran concurrent with the Depression era. Marjorie Browne received her B.S. in Mathematics from Howard University in 1935. In 1939 she received an M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan. Thus, she was one of very few African-American women with advanced degrees in Mathematics. Browne began to teach at Wiley College while pursuing her doctorate at the University in Michigan. In 1949, she became one of the first African-American women to earn Ph.D.'s in Matheatics. (Evelyn Boyd Granville received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale University that same year). After receiving her doctorate, Browne finished off her career at North Carolina Central University until her death in 1979. Throughout her career, Browne maintained a deep interest in developing and continuing the education of secondary school teachers. She conducted numerous seminars and summer institutes to that end and, in particular, authored several works explicitly for this purpose:
