Next Mathematician
(Kovalevsky)
Sophie Germain (1776-1831)
French
She studied number theory with Carl Gauss.
Germain would have loved the Happy Numbers Investigation:
square each digit and add them to get the next number.
Happy numbers come to rest at 1 but unhappy numbers go
around in circles for ever.
