 Profiles of Women in Mathematics: Julia Robinson
JULIA BOWMAN ROBINSON was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1919.
In 1948 Robinson began work on the tenth problem on Hilbert's famous list: "to find an effective method for determining if a given diophantine equation is solvable in integers." Although she also published papers on a variety of questions, the tenth problem was to occupy the largest portion of her professional career.
In 1975, Robinson became the first woman mathematician to be elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and, in 1983, she became the first woman president of the American Mathematical Society.

 My Collaboration with JULIA ROBINSON
Julia Robinson called a relation J with these two properties a relation of exponential growth; today such relations are also known as Julia Robinson predicates.
Julia commented: "I consider it in the range of 'practical'number theory, since Davenport once wrote a paper on cubic forms in 33 variables." Julia sent me a detailed proof of this reduction, and it became the basis for our further work.
Julia at that time was very much occupied with her new duties as President of the American Mathematical Society and was not very active in mathematical research, but she visited Calgary on her way to a meeting of the Society.
