Marisa Fernández
María Luisa (Marisa) Fernández Rodríguez (born 11 June 1953) is a Spanish mathematician specializing in differential geometry, symplectic geometry, and G2-structure, -structures. She is the professor of geometry and topology in the department of mathematics at the University of the Basque Country. Education and career Fernández is originally from Ourense. She was a mathematics student at the University of Santiago de Compostela, earning a Licentiate (degree), licentiate there in 1974 and completing her doctorate in 1976. Her dissertation, ''Estructura y propiedades de las variedades G1'', was supervised by . After postdoctoral research with Alfred Gray (mathematician), Alfred Gray at the University of Maryland, College Park, she joined the faculty of science at the University of the Basque Country in 1986, becoming the first female professor in the faculty. Recognition In 1988, the government of the Province of Pontevedra gave Fernández the Antonio Odriozola Prize for bas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Differential Geometry
Differential geometry is a Mathematics, mathematical discipline that studies the geometry of smooth shapes and smooth spaces, otherwise known as smooth manifolds. It uses the techniques of Calculus, single variable calculus, vector calculus, linear algebra and multilinear algebra. The field has its origins in the study of spherical geometry as far back as classical antiquity, antiquity. It also relates to astronomy, the geodesy of the Earth, and later the study of hyperbolic geometry by Nikolai Lobachevsky, Lobachevsky. The simplest examples of smooth spaces are the Differential geometry of curves, plane and space curves and Differential geometry of surfaces, surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, and the study of these shapes formed the basis for development of modern differential geometry during the 18th and 19th centuries. Since the late 19th century, differential geometry has grown into a field concerned more generally with geometric structures on differentiable ...
