Dorothy McCoy (Waukomis, então Território de Oklahoma, 9 de agosto de 1903 – 21 de novembro de 2001) foi uma matemática estadunidense. Em 1929 foi a primeira mulher a obter um doutorado em matemática na Universidade de Iowa.[1]

Formação e carreira

Dorothy McCoy nasceu em 9 de agosto de 1903 em Waukomis, pertencente na época ao Território de Oklahoma. Sua família mudou-se para Chesapeake, Missouri, em 1906, após a morte de seu pai.[2] Obteve o grau de bacharel na Universidade Baylor no Texas com distinção,[1] lecionou matemática durante um ano,[2] e completou um doutorado em matemática na Universidade de Iowa em 1929,[1] orientada por Edward Wilson Chittenden, com a tese The Complete Existential Theory of Eight Fundamental Properties of Topological Spaces.[3] Obteve os dois graus ao mesmo tempo que seu irmão mais jovem, Neal, que foi professor de matemática do Smith College.[1] Foi a primeira mulher a obter um doutorado em matemática na Universidade de Iowa, e (com Winifred Asprey, Barbara Beechler e Kathryn Powell Ellis) uma das únicas quatro a obter este grau antes de 1960.[4]

Carreira posterior

Dorothy McCoy tornou-se professora e chefe do departamento de matemática do Belhaven College, Mississippi em 1929, e presidiu a Seção Louisiana-Mississippi da Mathematical Association of America em 1937 e 1938.[2] Em 1949 tornou-se professora de matemática e presidente da divisão de ciências físicas e biológicas no Wayland Baptist College. Foi bolsista dd Programa Fulbright em 1954, visitando o Iraque e depois viajou profissionalmente para muitos outros países. Aposentou-se como distinguished professor emerita em 1975, "o único membro da faculdade que recebeu os títulos de emérita e distinta".[1]

Morreu em 21 de novembro de 2001.[5]

Reconhecimentos

A Associação Batista dos Ex-Alunos de Wayland concedeu a McCoy seu Distinguished Lifetime Service Award em 1999.[5] A Wayland Baptist University nomeou um dormitório em sua homenagem em 2001,[5][6] e exibe um busto dela em um de seus edifícios.[5]

Duas fotografias suas estão incluídas na coleção do National Museum of American History, como parte de um conjunto de fotos de mulheres com doutorados em matemática.[7]
