#artAdventCalendar: Happy birthday to #mathematician Virginia Ragsdale (1870-1945). The Ragsdale conjecture, made in her 1906 dissertation, is amongst the earliest and most famous on the #topology of real & algebraic curves, which stimulated a lot of 20th century research & was not disproved until ‘79. A correct upper bound has yet to be found. In her dissertation she tackles the 16th of David Hilbert’s 🧵

Please share: Congratulations to Clara Wanjura for receiving the German Physical Society's Gustav Hertz Prize 2026 !
She is awarded the prize for her pioneering contributions to two modern topics: #neuromorphic systems, that promise to reduce the energy consumption of artificial intelligence #AI , and non-Hermitian #topology , which describes a set of sometimes counterintuitive wave phenomena.
