Marion Walter (born July 30, 1928 in Berlin Germany) is a mathematician who retired as Professor of Mathematics at University of Oregon in 1994. ==Education and early life== Born in Germany in 1928 she left on a Children's transport to England where she attended a boarding school. After she graduated from school in December 1944 the school's only math teacher resigned and since it was difficult to find a replacement during the war period, she was asked to teach math (in part because she had earned a mark of distinction on her Cambridge University School Certificate exam.) She taught for two terms and learned she enjoyed teaching. She attended college in England for two years before leaving for the United States in 1948. She then attended Hunter College majoring in mathematics and minoring in education, graduating in 1950. After graduating she taught at Hunter College High School and George Washington High School. She began taking evening classes for her Master's degree in mathematics at New York University. She worked as a research assistant, mainly doing computing work at what became the Courant Institute. In the summers of 1952 and 1953 she was awarded a National Institute of Standards summer scholarship to study at the Institute of Numerical Analysis at UCLA. She earned her Master's in mathematics from New York University in 1954. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marion Walter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
