Nothing Stopped Sophie
あらすじ・解説
The true story of 18th-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream.
When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie.
For six years Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture.

"This portrait of a quiet heroine is elegant, striking, and sure to inspire." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Refreshingly, Sophie Germain's story not only reminds us of the importance of perseverance, it recalls a time when discoveries were often made by hard-working amateurs - for the fun of it." (The New York Times)
"Graceful and lyrical...an inspiring portrait of the plucky, self-taught mathematician." (The Horn Book)
