Annette Warner

Annette Warner , née Imhausen , (* 1970 in Rüsselsheim ) is a German Egyptologist and mathematics historian.

Warner studied mathematics and chemistry at the University of Mainz from 1989 (completed with a state examination on the Mathematical Papyrus Moscow ) and then in Mainz, at the University of Heidelberg and at the Free University of Berlin Egyptology (and Assyriology). In 2000 she received her doctorate in Mainz with David Rowe . She was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and the Dibner Institute for the History of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . From 2002 to 2005 she conducted research at Cambridge University ( Trinity Hall ), where she was an instructor for the history of science and Egyptology. From 2006 to 2008 she was a junior professor at the University of Mainz. Since 2009 she has been professor for the history of science in the premodern world at the University of Frankfurt .

She has been co-editor of Historia Mathematica since 2007 .

As a hobby, she runs long distances.
