Olga Taussky-Todd was an Austrian and American mathematician who published more than 300 research papers on algebraic number theory, integral matrices, and matrices in algebra and analysis. She was born on August 30, 1906 into a Jewish family in what is now Olomouc in the Czech Republic, the second of three children, and at the age of three her family moved to Vienna. She enrolled at the University of Vienna in the fall of 1925 to study mathematics, and worked first in algebraic number theory, with a doctorate at the University of Vienna supervised by Philipp Furtwängler, a number theorist from Germany. She died on October 7, 1995.
