Judith D. Sally

Judith Donovan Sally (nee Donovan, born March 23, 1937) is an American mathematician, dedicated to commutative algebra ( ring theory ) deals.

Sally studied mathematics at Barnard College (Bachelor 1958) and at Brandeis University ( Master's degree 1960). Then they started a family and continued her studies in 1968 at the University of Chicago, where she received her doctorate in 1971 with Irving Kaplansky (Regular over rings of regular local rings, Transactions AMS band 171, 1972). As a post - graduate student, she was at Rutgers University. From 1972 she taught at Northwestern University, where she is Professor Emeritus today.

They dealt primarily with local Noetherian rings and graded rings and in the calculation of their Hilbert functions, the applications in the study of the resolution of singularities of algebraic varieties. They also dealt with other algebraic concepts from the field of resolution of singularities.

In 1995, she held the Noether Lecture. In 1977 she was Sloan Fellow and 1981/82 Bunting Fellow at Radcliffe College. She is married to the mathematician Paul Sally ( professor at the University of Chicago) and has three sons.
