Sylvia Chin-Pi Lu
Taiwanese-American mathematician
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sylvia Chin-Pi Lu (1928–2014) was a Taiwanese-American mathematician specializing in commutative algebra who was an invited speaker at the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto.[1] Less than 5% of ICM speakers in algebra and number theory have been women, placing Lu in a rarefied group in this "hall of fame for mathematics".[2] Lu's most highly cited papers are on the properties of prime submodules.[3]
