Marjorie Senechal

Marjorie Senechal Lee (born Wikler, born July 18, 1939 in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American mathematician, dealing with patterns in the geometry employed (crystals, tilings ).

Senechal is the daughter of the psychiatrist Abraham Wikler ( 1910-1981 ). It was in 1965 when Abe Sklar at the Illinois Institute of Technology PhD (Approximate Functional Equations and Probabilistic Inner Product Spaces ). She was Louise Wolff Kahn Professor at Smith College, where she is now professor emeritus. At Smith College, she was the founding Director of the Louise W. and Edmund J. Kahn Liberal Arts Institute. She was a visiting scientist at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques ( IHES ).

In addition to discrete geometry and mathematical crystallography (for example, quasicrystals ) it also deals with the history of science, for example, the history of the silk industry.

She is co-editor of The Mathematical Intelligencer. She also wrote a book about Albania.
