Education and career

Nelson did her undergraduate studies at the University of North Dakota. [2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1988 at the University of Minnesota. Her dissertation concerned partial differential equations, and was supervised by Eugene Barry Fabes; it was Bounds for the Fundamental Solutions of Degenerate Parabolic Partial Differential Equations. [3] She joined the Carleton College faculty in the same year. [2]
