	Sofia Kovalevskaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya (Софья Васильевна Ковалевская) (also known as Sonia Kovalevsky) (January 15, 1850 – February 10, 1891) was the first major Russian female mathematician and a student of Karl Weierstrass in Berlin.
		Kovalevskaya had a crush on Fyodor Dostoevsky and practiced his favourite piano work, Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, to get his attention, but he was focused on the older sister Anna and he very probably proposed to her.
		Kovalevskaya died of influenza, complicated by pneumonia, in Stockholm and is interred there in the Norra begravningsplatsen.

		Sofia was born in 1850 to a Russian family of minor nobility, thus allowing her to be educated by tutors and a governess. Sofia developed a love for mathematics at a very young age.
		Sofia's continued research on this subject won a prize from the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1889. That same year she was elected a corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences after the rules were changed to allow this election of a woman (1).
		Sofia's last published work was a short article discussing a new, simpler proof of Bruns' theorem of the potential function of a homogeneous body. In 1891, Sofia Kovalevskaya died of influenza complicated by pneumonia. The scientific world, through which Sofia had gained much fame, mourned the loss of this incredible person.

		Sofia was destined to become a woman of great strengths veiled by great vulnerabilities, and the contributions she made to mathematics promise to be enduring ones.
		For a parabolic equation, Kovalevskaya showed that the solution may not be analytic if the initial data are imposed on the wrong variable.
		Kovalevskaya's paper is assured of a permanent glory because it completes a program implicit in the works of Euler and Lagrange - to solve in an analytic manner the equations of motion.
