Ada Maddison
Ada Isabel Maddison (1869 - 1950) British mathematician best known for her work on differential equations.
== Education ==
Isabel Maddison entered University College in Cardiff in 1885. She was awarded a Clothworker's Guild Scholarship to study at Girton College, Cambridge, where she matriculated in 1889. A fellow student who matriculated at Girton at the same time as Maddison was Grace Chisholm (later Grace Chisholm Young). Maddison attended lectures at Cambridge by Cayley, Whitehead and Young. In 1892 Maddison passed the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos Exam earning a First Class degree, equal to the twenty-seventh Wrangler, but she was not allowed to receive a degree.as at this time women could not formally receive a degree at Cambridge. Instead, she was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honors from the University of London in 1893.〔 Her fellow student Grace Chisholm also earned a First Class degree in the same Mathematical Tripos examinations.
In 1885, Bryn Mawr College, in Pennsylvania in the United States, opened. The College was founded by Joseph Taylor, a Quaker, and it was set up with Quaker beliefs although it operated as a nondenominational college. It was the first higher education institution in the United States offering graduate training for women. In 1892 she attended Bryn Mawr College, where in 1893 was awarded the resident mathematics fellowship.〔 In 1894 she was the first student to win the Mary E. Garrett Fellowship from Bryn Mawr for study abroad, which she used to study at the University of Göttingen to attend lectures of Felix Klein and David Hilbert.〔 She received her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr in 1896 under the direction of Charlotte Scott, who was the first woman to earn a First Class degree at Cambridge and did so in 1880. Maddison's thesis was titled "Singular solutions of differential equations of the first order in two variables and the geometric properties of certain invariants and covariants of their complete primitives".〔
On Cayley's recommendation, Scott was appointed at Bryn Mawr and became the first head of the Bryn Mawr Mathematics Department. After Maddison completed her studies at Cambridge in 1892 she was awarded a scholarship which enabled her to spend the year 1892-93 at Bryn Mawr College undertaking research with Scott.
