Ragni Piene worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Ragni Piene as Norwegian mathematician.
Ragni Piene was born at Oslo in 1947. Her recorded nationality is Norway. She studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
Her academic posts were held at University of Oslo.
The recorded fields of work are algebraic geometry and mathematics.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
That the work was done from Norway matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
