Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the history of women in the field of mathematics, the impact and experiences of current female mathematicians, and the common trends for women in the mathematics field. This paper examines the discrimination they faced and how they overcame this discrimination, as well as the contributions they have made to the mathematics field. In addition, studies about the effects of gender on mathematics achievement were explored and recognized trends and changes in favor of women in the mathematics field in recent years. This paper also reviews Bhaskaracharya's classic work Lilavati. The author wrote on his astronomical observations of planetary positions, conjunctions, eclipses, cosmography, geography, and the mathematical techniques and astronomical equipment used in these studies. Bhaskara II was also a noted astrologer, and traditionally he has named his first work, Lilavati, after his daughter. This note is a kind of review article based on references cited at the end of this paper.
