Lucy Joan Slater

Lucy Joan Slater (5 January 1922 – 6 June 2008) was a British mathematician who studied mathematical functions. Many mathematical identities have been named after her.[1][2] For example, there is the Jackson-Slater identity[3] and the Rogers-Ramanujan-Slater identity.[4][5][6][7] She is also known for her books about special functions[8][9] and Fortran.[10][11][12]
