Emilie Virginia Haynsworth

Emilie Virginia Haynsworth (June 1, 1916 – May 4, 1985) was an American mathematician at Auburn University who worked in linear algebra and matrix theory.

She was known for the "absolute originality" of her mathematical formulations, her "strong and independent mind", her "fine sense of mathematical elegance", and her "strong mixture of the traditional and unconventional".
