About Marie-Louise Dubreil-Jacotin
Marie-Louise Dubreil-Jacotin (7 July 1905 – 19 October 1972) was a French mathematician. She was the second woman in France to obtain a doctorate in pure mathematics and the first to become a full professor of mathematics. She is remembered for her contributions to fluid mechanics and abstract algebra. In semigroup theory, the Dubreil-Jacotin semigroups are named after her, as is the Dubreil-Jacotin–Long (DJL) equation, one of the main models to describe internal gravity waves in fluid mechanics. Dubreil-Jacotin was president of the French Mathematical Society.
