Her family moved to Wisconsin in 1949,〔 and she graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1966 after three years of study.〔 In 1971 Wiegand earned her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her dissertation was titled ''Galois Theory of Essential Expansions of Modules and Vanishing Tensor Powers.''〔 In 1987 she became a full professor at the University of Nebraska; at the time Wiegand was the only female professor in the math department.〔 In 1988 Sylvia headed a search committee for two new jobs in the math department, for which two women were hired, although one stayed only a year and another left after four years.〔 In 1996 Sylvia and her husband Roger established a fellowship for graduate student research at the university in honor of Sylvia's grandparents, called the Grace Chisholm Young and William Henry Young Award. Grace Chisholm Young was the first woman to earn a PhD in any discipline from a German university; hers was in mathematics, and her thesis was titled "Algebraisch-gruppentheoretische Untersuchungen zur sphärischen Trigonometrie" (Algebraic Groups of Spherical Trigonometry.) From 1997 until 2000, Wiegand was President of the Association for Women in Mathematics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AWM Profile )〕 Wiegand has published over forty research papers, including seven joint papers with her husband, and supervised five Ph.D. students.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sylvia Wiegand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
