Suzan Kahramaner
Suzan Kahramaner (born May 21, 1913 in Istanbul ; † February 22, 2006 there ) was a Turkish mathematician. She was the first Turkish math professor.
Life
Kahramaner was born in 1913 in the Istanbul district of Üsküdar as the daughter of surgeon Rifki Osman Bey and his wife Müzeyyen Hanım. She attended the Moda Nümune Inas elementary school between 1919 and 1924 and then the Lycée Notre Dame de Sion Istanbul until 1934 .
After the educational reforms, she studied at the newly founded Istanbul University from 1934 . Kahramaner studied there in the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy. At that time, many well-known scholars who had fled Europe were teaching at the university, including numerous German academics. During her undergraduate studies, she attended lectures by Ali Yar , Kerim Erim , Richard von Mises , Hilda Geiringer and William Prager . In 1939 she successfully completed her studies and worked on scientific projects in the field of physics in 1939/40.
In 1940 she started working as a math teacher at the Çamlıca High School girls' school . In 1943 she moved to Istanbul University, where she worked as a tutor for analysis courses in the mathematics department.
In 1943 she began her dissertation on Coefficient Problems in the Theory of Complex Functions under her doctoral supervisor Kerim Erim. After completing her doctorate, she continued to work at the university as one of the first doctoral mathematicians in Turkey.
With the work Sur l'argument des fonctions univalentes she became a research assistant (" Assistant Professor "). In January 1957 she went to Rolf Nevanlinna at the University of Helsinki to do research there on function theory . She also took part in the Scandinavian Congress of Mathematicians - International Colloquium on Function Theories, which took place in August of the same year.
In November 1957 she went to Zurich to continue her scientific research with Nevanlinna, who was teaching at the University of Zurich at the time. In August of the following year she attended the International Congress of Mathematicians in Edinburgh , organized by the International Mathematical Union .
At the end of 1958 she returned to Istanbul University. In the fall of 1959 she won a NATO scholarship that she received on the recommendation of Nevanlinna. In 1959/60 she therefore worked again in Zurich. She then worked for a month at Stanford University and from September 1960 at the University of Helsinki. At the end of October 1960 she resumed her work at Istanbul University. In August 1962 she again took part in the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm . This year she did research in Helsinki and Zurich again.
In August 1966 she was invited to the 2nd Rolf Nevanlinna Colloquium. In the same month she was invited to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Moscow . Then she worked in Helsinki in autumn on her habilitation on Sur les singularités d'une application différentiable . This was accepted in 1968 and Suzan Kahramaner was appointed full professor in the same year.
Kahramaner was also involved in the establishment of the Association of Mathematicians of the Balkans, in which Romania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria were involved in addition to Turkey.
In 1976 she took part in the International Symposium on Function Theory. In the same year she received the medal from Jyväskylä University . During these years she repeatedly took part in the congresses of the Mathematicians Union and the Association of Mathematicians of the Balkans. In 1978/79 she was head of the mathematics department at Istanbul University.
In 1983 Suzan Kahramaner retired, but continued to research and in August 1987 took part again in the Rolf Nevanlinna Colloquium in Leningrad .
Private life
Suzan Kahramaner's son Rifki Kahramaner and her daughter-in-law Yasemin Kahramaner are also both professors of mathematics.
