"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

So who here has heard of Sonya Kovalevsky?

She's on pretty much every "Women in mathematics" poster you'll run into (something about which I have mixed feelings), but I hadn't heard of her before that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

French mathematician Sophie Germain

Ooh, hers are the primes at the center of the proof in Proof.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

::Raises hand::

But it was in a class focusing on women in the history of math. I wish I still had all my notes from then, I don't remember much.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Why the mixed feelings, Emily?

You know, if women weren't held under the boot of the patriarchy, I'm certain our advances would have brought us to a place where I'd now be driving a hover craft. Friggin' patriarchy. I WANT MY HOVERCRAFT.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hi aurelia! How was MI?

I have no flying car.

If you did, it'd probably have taken you a few hours less to get here, as you could just cut across lake Michigan....
