Alicia Boole Stott was a British mathematician, the third daughter of George Boole and Mary Everest Boole. She is best known for coining the term "polytope" for a convex solid in four dimensions, and having an impressive grasp of four-dimensional geometry from a very early age.
8 giu 2012 · Alicia Boole Stott. June 8, 1860 - December 17, 1940. Alicia Boole was the third of the five daughters of Mary Everest Boole. Despite having no formal education in mathematics, she still possessed a great power of geometric visualization in hyperspace.
1 mag 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.
Alicia Boole Stott's first article, On certain series of sections of the regular four-dimensional hypersolids, published in 1900, is the basis for this month's feature column. We will focus on her analysis of one of the "hypersolids," the 120-cell, with boundary consisting of 120 dodecahedra.
