A Woman in Mathematics
Vera PlessBy Regina JacksonIt is fitting that coding theorists speak of "Pless power moments" – for Dr. Vera Pless is a woman who has filled every moment of her life in a very powerful way. She has traveled as far as Korea, Israel, Australia and China to collaborate on math research and to speak at math conferences and seminars.
