Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics

The Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize is a mathematics prize of the American Mathematical Society, which is awarded every two years for outstanding work of female mathematicians. The work should be from the last six years. It was donated in 1990 by Joan Birman in memory of her sister Ruth Lyttle Satter ( 1923-1989 ) and is worth $ 5,000. Ruth Lyttle Satter was a botanist, but had studied before an interruption of career for family reasons, physics and mathematics. Satter dealt with plant physiology, leaf - motor skills and biological rhythms and was a professor at the University of Connecticut. She died of leukemia.
