Please please for god sake help me?
Sofia Kovalevskaya born in Moscow in the year 1850 was the daughter of a general. At a young age she showed a interest in mathematics. When she turned 11 the walls of her nursery were covered with notes on differential and intergal ysis. This was her first introduction to calculus. In the year 1869 she traveled to Heidelberg to begin her studies at a university in mathematics and natural sciences. She somehow managed to persude the University to allow her to take cles there. In 1871 she moved to a private college for four years, by the spring of 1874, Sofia had completed her work on partial differential equations, Albelian intergrals and Saturn's rings. Her work on partial fifferential equations was published in 1875. She later began working on the "refraction of light". She started teaching at the University and was appointed to a five year extrodinary professorship in June of that year. She also became the first worman since two previous physicist to hold chair at a European Univeristy. Sadly, in 1891, Sofia Kovalevskaya died of complications due to pneumonia.
