Ranthony Edmonds

w:Ranthony Edmonds is an American mathematician specializing in commutative ring theory, factorization theory, and applied algebraic topology. She is a postdoctoral fellow in the department of mathematics at the Ohio State University. Quotes I’ve always loved math, but I don’t think it always loved me back My journey is weird because I feel like I operated in the complete absence of a mathematical community. I was always drawn to puzzles and captivated by mathematical thinking and trying to understand how things work. When I was little there were Magic School Bus books with information bubbles. I never thought of myself as a mathematician. I went to a performing arts school from the fourth to the eighth grade. Most of my formative years were spent in classes where there was creative dance, piano and art. I was a creative writing major at that school. There was math happening but this was in no way an environment of STEM that I’ve experienced today. In high school, I got accepted into a magnet program. I switched to a different school because I had heard this program was like my art school but just for math and science, I thought it would be interesting to see how that would turn out and it didn’t go so great. I was dismissed after the first year because I didn’t get high enough grades in geometry and statistics, and this was a program where you couldn’t get C’s and I got C’s in those courses.
