Alicia Boole Stott (8 de junho de 1860 – 17 de dezembro de 1940) foi uma matemática da Grã-Bretanha. Apesar de nunca ser detentora de um currículo académico, ela fez uma série de valiosas contribuições para o campo, recebendo um doutoramento honoris causa, pela Universidade de Groningen.
Alicia Boole Stott (8 June 1860 – 17 December 1940) was a British mathematician. She made a number of contributions to the field and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Groningen. She grasped four-dimensional geometry from an early age, and introduced the term "polytope" for a convex solid in four or more dimensions.
Alicia Boole Stott was a daughter of George Boole who made some discoveries in four-dimensional geometry. View four larger pictures. Biography. Alicia Boole was the third daughter of George Boole, who has a biography in this archive, and Mary Everest.
Alicia Boole Stott was the daughter of George Boole and Mary Everest Boole, and the third woman to coin the term "polytope" for a four-dimensional solid. She discovered the six regular polytopes and their central sections, and worked with H.S.M. Coxeter on polyhedral constructions related to the golden section.
Learn about the life and work of Alicia Boole Stott, who discovered and built the sections of the 120-cell, a four-dimensional polytope. See her diagrams and models of the 120-cell and its dual, the 600-cell, and how they relate to Flatland.
Alicia Stott foi uma matemática pioneira, com a capacidade de visualizar a geometria quadridimensional que ajudou a avançar nesse campo.
1 de mai. de 2008 · In this paper we present the life and work of Alicia Boole Stott, an Irish woman who made a significant contribution to the study of four-dimensional geometry. Although she never studied mathematics, she taught herself to “see” the fourth dimension and developed a new method of visualizing four-dimensional polytopes.
