  1. sounds like angie has this one


  2. As regards her published work, most of this was closely connected with Cremona transformations; but her contributions [11, 12, 13] to Applied Mathematics (in particular to Aeronautical Engineering) during, and immediately after, the first world was are a tribute to her versatility; and mention should be made also of her attractive monograph "Ruler and Compass" [22], first published in 1916, in which she included a lot of elegant geometry in an exposition of the range and limitations of ruler and compass constructions. The main bulk of her work on Cremona transformations, however, was notable for the reason that the methods she employed were basically elementary—largely analytical geometry—but her success in their use was the result of a powerful, almost uncanny, geometrical intuition which enable her to extract correct answers in her own way to quite formidable problems.
