Anita Hansbo worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Anita Hansbo as Swedish mathematician and academic administrator.
Anita Hansbo was born at Tofteryd in 1960. Her recorded nationality is Sweden. She studied at University of Gothenburg.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
Her academic posts were held at University West, Jönköping University and University of Gothenburg.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
That the work was done from Sweden matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Anita Hansbo is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
