SPEAKER_02: These women dominated the airwaves, innovating, documenting, and creating the audio landscape we live in today.In 1808, the German physicist Ernst Chladni stood in front of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Academy of Science in Paris.Chladni poured a fine layer of sand over a plate and then ran a bow along its edge.The plate emitted a tone. In response to the sound, the sand began to jump and move, forming intricate geometric patterns.Amazed, Napoleon proposed a prize to any mathematician who could make sense of this phenomenon.Today we're talking about the woman who won that prize, Sophie Germain.Sophie was born in 1776 in Paris, France, to a wealthy family.From a young age, Sophie loved to read books in her father's library. One day, she came across the story of Archimedes, the famous Greek mathematician known for his analysis of the lever and pulley.
As the story went, Archimedes had been so engrossed in his mathematical study that when his town was invaded by the Roman army, he didn't notice.And he was speared to death on the spot.Sophia was struck by how deeply invested Archimedes had been in his practice.He'd been so consumed that he died.Sophia knew she had to see what the fuss was all about. So, Sophie started teaching herself the basics of mathematics.She would study late into the night by candlelight, reading books by famous theorists like Euler and Newton.At the time, it was frowned upon for women to learn subjects like math and science.They were only deemed fit for men.Sophie's parents discouraged her unladylike fascination with mathematics by confiscating all of her candles and putting out the fire at night.
But Sophie wasn't easily dissuaded.She kept a secret stash of candles in her room and bundled up in a quilt to stay warm.Sometimes it got so cold that the ink froze in the inkwell.Still, Sophie persisted.In 1794, a new academy called École Polytechnique opened in Paris.It was meant to be a place of study for the most talented mathematicians and scientists in the nation.But only men were allowed to attend. Sophie circumvented this requirement by taking on the identity of a former male student, Monsieur Leblanc.Unaware that this Monsieur Leblanc was actually a young woman, the school printed extra lecture notes and course materials for him, allowing Sophie to keep up with the classes.One of Sophie's teachers, Professor Lagrange, was so impressed with this so-called Monsieur Leblanc's work that he asked to meet in person.
Sophie could hide her secret no longer and revealed her true identity to the professor.Perhaps surprisingly, the professor supported her aspirations and remained a mentor and resource.Sophie took a particular interest in number theory.And there was one number theory problem vexing mathematicians at the time.In the 17th century, the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat proposed what's known as Fermat's Last Theorem, You're probably familiar with the Pythagorean theorem, that is, a squared plus b squared equals c squared.Well, Fermat posited that if the power is any number greater than two, then the equation is no longer valid.It was simple to show that was indeed the case.But it was incredibly hard to prove the principle behind why it didn't work.Fermat himself never provided the proof.
Sofie was determined to uncover it. So in 1804, Sophie returned to using her pseudonym and struck up a correspondence with Karl Gauss, a renowned German mathematician and authority on number theory, to discuss some of her work on the proof.Sophie's true identity was also eventually revealed to Karl.Fortunately, he too continued to encourage her work.In the end, Sophie was able to construct part of the missing proof. the problem would continue to stump mathematicians for another century.Her breakthrough helped lead to the discovery of the complete proof in the mid-1990s.Sophie then turned her attention to another prominent mathematical puzzle of the day, the Chladni figures.In response to the French Academy of Sciences contest, Sophie explored mathematical explanations as to why sound vibrations cause the intricate shifting patterns in the sand. It took Sophie three tries, but on her third submission, the Academy agreed that her thesis, Memoir on the Vibrations of Elastic Plates, was worthy of recognition.
In 1816, and under her own name to boot, Sophie Germain became the first woman to be awarded a prize by the Academy.Her pioneering work in understanding the physics of vibration, acoustics, and the elasticity of surfaces changed the course of how we understand sound. Even still, Sophie remained isolated and sidelined from academic circles.But always dogged, she managed to become the first woman on her own merit to attend lectures at the French Academy of Science.She did have some allies in her corner.Karl Gauss arranged for a German university to bestow her with an honorary degree.But before she could receive it, she died of breast cancer at the age of 55.
