Anne Marie Leggett (born May 28, 1947) is an American mathematical logician. She is an associate professor emerita of mathematics at Loyola University Chicago. [1]
Leggett is the editor-in-chief of the bi-monthly newsletter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), a position she has held continuously since 1977. [2] She has served on the Executive Committee of the AWM since 1977 [2] and the AWM Policy and Advocacy Committee (2008-2015). [3] With Bettye Anne Case, she is the editor of the book Complexities: Women in Mathematics (with Anne M. Leggett, Princeton University Press, 2005). [4] Leggett received an Alpha Sigma Nu Book Award for Complexities in 2006. [5]
Leggett did her undergraduate studies at Ohio State University, and completed her Ph.D. in 1973 at Yale University. [1] Her dissertation, Maximal -r.e. sets and their complements, was supervised by Manuel Lerman. [6]
She became a C. L. E. Moore instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973, [7] and was also on the faculties of Western Illinois University and the University of Texas at Austin. [1] In 1982, she married another mathematician, Gerard McDonald (1946–2012), and in 1983, they both joined the Loyola University Chicago faculty. [8]
Leggett was chosen to be part of the 2019 class of fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics, "for extraordinary contributions in promoting opportunities for women in the mathematical sciences through AWM and as a teacher and scholar; for her amazing and steady work as editor of the AWM Newsletter since 1977; and for her invaluable leadership and guidance." [9]
Lenore Carol Blum is an American computer scientist and mathematician who has made contributions to the theories of real number computation, cryptography, and pseudorandom number generation. She was a distinguished career professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University until 2019 and is currently a professor in residence at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also known for her efforts to increase diversity in mathematics and computer science.
