Chisholm, Grace: Algebraisch-gruppentheoretische Untersuchungen zur sphärischen Trigonometrie. Göttingen, Dieterich, 1895.
Erste Ausgabe der wissenschaftsgeschichtlich bedeutenden Dissertation an der Georg-Augusts-Universität in Göttingen. (Referent: Herr Professor Dr. F. Klein. Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26. April 1895). - Die englische Mathematikerin Grace Chisholm Young (1868 - 1944) studierte ab 1889 am Girton College, Cambridge; 1895 promovierte sie in Göttingen bei Felix Klein. Sie war die erste Doktorin Deutschlands nach der geänderten Studienordnung. - "Chisholm wanted to continue in mathematics but women were not yet admitted to graduate schools in England so she went to Göttingen in Germany to study with Felix Klein. This was one of the major mathematical centers in the world. The decision to admit her had to be approved by the Berlin Ministry of Culture... In 1895 Grace Chisholm earned her Ph.D., magna cum laude, at the age of 27 with a thesis entitled "Algebraisch-gruppentheoretische Untersuchungen..." Again government approval had to be obtained to allow her to take the examination, which consisted of probing questions, in German, by several professors on conic sections, geometry, differential equations, physics, astronomy, and the area of her dissertation. She thus became the first woman to officially receive a Ph.D. in Germany" (Biographies of Women Mathematicians, Agnes Scott College, Decatur). - "Although Sofia Kovalevskaia had been awarded a doctorate in mathematics in absentia from Göttingen in 1874 after submitting a thesis, the rules for doctoral degrees had become stricter, and Grace was required to take courses and pass a difficult examination showing broader knowledge as well as prepare a thesis in order to receive her degree" (Sylvia Wiegand: "Grace Chisholm Young and William Henry Young: A Partnership of Itinerant British Mathematicians," in Creative Couples in the Sciences, Rutgers University Press, 1996, 126-140). - Gut erhalten, gering lichtrandig, sonst sauber. - Cover slightly browned, else a nice clean copy.
