Mary Fairfax Somerville (26 December 1780 – 28 November 1872) was a Scottish science writer and polymath, at a time when women's participation in science was discouraged. She studied mathematics and astronomy, and was nominated to be jointly the first female member of the Royal Astronomical Society. She did not have a good experience when sent to an elite boarding school, and was sent home in just a year. At age 15 Mary noticed some algebric formulas used as decoration in a fashion magazine, and on her own began to study algebra. She obtained a copy of Euclid's Elements of Geometry over her parents' opposition. In 1804 Mary Fairfax married -- under pressure from family -- her cousin, Captain Samuel Greig. They had two sons. He opposed Mary's studies in mathematics and science, but after his death in 1807 -- followed by the death of one of their sons -- she returned to Scotland with her other son and began to study astronomy and mathematics seriously. She began solving math problems posed by a mathematics journal, and in 1811 won a medal for a solution she submitted. Mary Somerville began publishing papers on scientific subjects in 1826, using her own research, and after 1831, she began writing about the ideas and work of other scientists, too. One book prompted John Couch Adams to search for the planet Neptune, for which is he is credited as a co-discoverer. In 1833 Mary Somerville and Caroline Herschel were named honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society, the first time women had won that recognition. Mary Somerville moved to Italy for her husband's health in 1838, and there she continued to work and to publish. Dr. Somerville died in 1860. In 1869, Mary Somerville published yet another major work, was awarded a gold medal from the Royal Geographical Society, and was elected to the American Philosophical Society. Mary Somerville died in Naples in 1872, just before turning 92. Significant writings by Mary Somerville: 1831 (first book) - The Mechanism of the Heavens - translating and explaining Pierre Laplace's celestial mechanics 1834 - On the Connection of the Physical Sciences - this book continued in new editions through 1877 1848 - Physical Geography - first book in England on Earth's physical surface 1869 - On Molecular and Microscopic Science - about physics and chemistry
