I'm not talking about changing letter grades. I'm talking about admissions for graduate work.
I think that if I didn't get in because they give the place to a black person, I'd be happy about it. There hasn't been one in any of my years of math studying. I think that mathematics will be an inherently stronger field if it has more people to love it, and I think that breaking open the field is important if it is going to continue existing.
Alright, then, which male mathematicians are you learning about?
Gauss, Newton, Thales, L'hopital, Lagrange, Jordan, Riemann, Euclid, Euler, Leibniz, Descartes, Stieltjes, Sylow, Poincare, Kuratowski, Godel, Erdos, Cauchy, Liouville, Stone, Weierstrass, Abel, Dedekind, Kronecker, Galois, Artin, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Diophantus, Fibonacci, Fermat, Dirichlet, Hilbert, Turing, Stokes, Fourier, Lebesgue, Darboux, deRham, Sard, Klein, Ibn Al-Haytham, Al-Khwarizmi, Hookes,
and I'm just getting started.
Do we learn about Ibn Al-Haytham, who made valuable contributions in maths, anatomy, astronomy, engineering, medicine, philosophy, physics, and also introduced a scientific methodology of experimentation and observation? Tim Berners-Lee, who gifted the world with unpatented internet? Avicenna, a pinnacle in understanding the spread and treatment of disease? Fritz Haber, who is acredited with making the synthesis of chemicals so much cheaper to feed billions? Szilárd who theorized chain reactions? James Clerk Maxwell, probably the founder of modern physics, and discoverer of electromagnetic waves?
The list goes on.
Actually. . . yes? Every intro physics and chem student has to learn about Maxwell's equations.
