Jeanne Radegonde Marie Charpentier (30 October 1903 – 9 October 1994)[1][2][3] was a French mathematician. She was the first woman to obtain a doctorate in pure mathematics in France,[1] and the second woman, after Marie-Louise Dubreil-Jacotin, to obtain a faculty position in mathematics at a university in France.[4]

Early life and education

Jeanne Radegonde Marie Charpentier was born in Poitiers, the daughter of Michel Marie Eugène Charpentier and Marie Thérèse Geneviève Rondelet, on either 29[5] or 30 October 1903.[6]

Charpentier joined the Société mathématique de France in 1930, possibly their second female member after Édmée Chandon.[1] She was a student of Georges Bouligand at the University of Poitiers,[4] where she completed her thesis in 1931[1][4] with Paul Montel as chair. Her dissertation was Sur les points de Peano d'une equation différentielle du premier ordre [On the Peano points of a first-order differential equation].[1]

Career

Charpentier did postdoctoral studies with George Birkhoff at Harvard University,[1] and was an invited speaker on geometry at the 1932 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich.[7] However, she could not obtain a faculty position in France at that time, and instead had to support herself as a teacher at the high school level for some years.[1]

She was appointed to her faculty position in 1942,[4] at the University of Rennes,[1][2] became full professor there, and retired in 1973.[1]
