Contributions to Mathematics by Women: A Poster Series by Addy Adewusi, Advisor: John Voight, PhD

 -InDesign

The goal of this poster series is to increase and encourage engagement of female college students in Dartmouth College’s mathematics department. The result of this term-long project are graphic representations of contributions to mathematics by women. 

Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-1779)

In 1748, Agnesi wrote Instituzioni Analitiche, the first mathematics textbook discussing both differential and integral calculus. The curve depicted, known as the Witch of Agnesi, is featured in her book.

Marie-Sophie Germain (1776-1831)

(date) Germain proved the first case of Fermat’s Last Theorem for all odd prime numbers less than 100. Her proof used prime numbers of the form q=2p+1, where p is prime; such a prime q is now known as a Sophie Germain prime.

Sonia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891)

In 1888, Kovalevskaya’s paper ‘On the rotation of a solid body about a fixed point’ won the prestigious Prix Bordin. The paper describes the motion of an asymmetric rigid body, depicted, which is now known as the  Kovalevskaya top.

Emmy Noether (1882-1945)

Noether made notable contributions to mathematical physics, abstract algebra, number theory and geometry. Depicted is a visual representation of a Noetherian ring, a ring in which every ascending chain of ideals stabilizes.

Charlotte Angas Scott (1858-1931)

In 1893, Scott published The Nature and Effect of Singularities of Plane Algebraic Curves, which is still widely used today. The book features the plane curve singularity depicted.

Dartmouth Black Caucus Logo- designed and created by Addy Adewusi - Illustrator, Photoshop

This logo was designed for the Dartmouth Black Caucus, a coalition of faculty and staff of African descent. Happy with the logo, the leader of the DBC has consulted me for additional design work.

Techsie Co. Logo Design, designed by Addy Adewusi, Illustrator

Techsie Co. is a design consulting firm specializing in advising on products and services for millennial clientele, so its logo needed to be just as trendy and cutting edge as its end consumer. The process of designing the logo went through many iterations.

Pinkhouse Suite -designed and modeled by Addy Adewusi, Maya, Photoshop

My first completed 3-D modeling project, Pinkhouse Suite was intended to be the “grown-up” version of "This Room Was Not Made For Sleeping." Pinkhouse Suite is the NYC studio in the sky for a successful, working woman, equipped only with a bed, desk, vanity, and seating area. The orchids present throughout out the room were an extra credit assignment. The wallpaper is the negative image of of Andy Warhol’s iconic painting of Marilyn Monroe.

Understanding Boy's Surface: An immersion of the real projective plane in 3-space - 2nd Place Pure Mathematics Poster Session, Dartmouth College; designed, modeled and constructed by Addy Adewusi, 3-D Model: Maya, Physical Model: styrofoam, acrylic paint

The objective of the project was to develop and present a model of Boy's surface that is colored and constructed in a manner that 1) explains how to traverse the surface and 2) directly connects its topology to the one of the real projective plane. The result is a polygonal Maya model and a physical 48' x 48' model of Boy's surface that uses gradients of familiar primary colors to symbolize the ability to traverse from one area of the surface to another, while areas without gradients have the characteristic of "passing through" each other.  

Background: The real projective plane is a non-orientable, two-dimensional surface. Topologically, it is formed by glaring a disk to a Mobius strip. The projective plane cannot be embedded in 3-space with out self intersection or multiple points, causing its visualization to be difficult.
