Mathematician Mary Tsingou Menzel Dies After Decades Without Credit

Original: Mathematician Who Waited 50 Years for Proper Credit for Her Work Has Died

Mary Tsingou Menzel, the American mathematician whose work on the celebrated Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem went largely uncredited for around 50 years, has died. Her contribution to a landmark 1955 numerical experiment in nonlinear dynamics was long attributed only to her male colleagues, and many scientists had in recent years pushed to add her name to the work. Tributes are highlighting her role in early scientific computing and the late recognition she finally received.

Why now: News of her death is prompting renewed discussion of her long-delayed credit for a famous physics computation.
