Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn as Spanish mathematician.
Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn was born at Barcelona in 1951. Her recorded nationality is Spain. She studied at University of Barcelona and Freie Universität Berlin.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
Her academic posts were held at Polytechnic University of Catalonia, University of Girona and Freie Universität Berlin.
The recorded fields of work are applied mathematics, statistical method and informatics.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: William Christian Krumbein Medal (2006).
That the work was done from Spain matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Vera Pawlowsky-Glahn is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
