Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education II

Eszter Klein (1910–2005): The Woman of the Happy End Problem

Combinatorial geometry principally deals with geometric problems rooted in some kind of difficulty of the combinatorial type, hence often requiring the use of the mathematical arsenal of combinatorics for a solution. This includes certain problems in the packing and covering of geometric shapes, and also has to do with issues of tiling, coloring, and partitioning. Even though some of these problems have been studied for centuries, combinatorial geometry as a discipline on its own right had not appeared in mathematical literature until about the middle of the 20th century.

In this sequel to the first volume of Pioneer Hungarian Women in Science and Education published in 2022, editors Réka M. Cristian and Anna Kérchy present the portraits of twenty-two prominent Hungarian women scholars, scientists and educators who made pioneering contributions to Hungary’s scientific achievement over the centuries. Some of the women introduced in the sixteen chapters come from traditional disciplines such as pharmacy, medicine, historiography, engineering, mathematics, archeology, psychology, and philosophy, while others furthered on fields not necessarily viewed, especially at the time, as science or scholarship proper, but which are nonetheless deeply intellectual, such as physical, special needs, reform, or music education, feminism, and historic preservation. The book offers a bird’s eye view summary of the accomplishments reached and challenges faced by these exceptional Hungarian female academics and intellectuals.
