Sophie Germain is the person who I chose to do this biography because I truly admire her admiration for getting a education. Sophie Germain was born April 1, 1776 Sophie Germain was was born in Rue Saint-Denis, Paris, France she is known for elasticity theory, differential geometry, number theory, and Sophie Germain prime numbers.

Sophie had two sisters, Germain did not have a easy life in fact it was very diffcult.

Imagine being put into the position Sophie was being put. Sophie Germain created a important theorem it is originally called the Fermats last theorem, without that theorem we wouldnt be able to create or solve things se now call math equations or there will simply be no explanation for it. Another thing that Sophie Germain has created that is an important thing that takes place now in the math world is the elasticity theory without that theorem we can not be able to solve certain things in life or like I said before there will be a gap of mysterys missing. Theres one more important thing Sophie Germain prime numbers it solved the odd numbers. The importance of this is very high in my opinion she has done so much we may not know her when we say or even mention her name is many
