Mary said she intends to encourage more students to pursue this type of opportunity. Higher mathematics education. Mary decided to do her graduate work at the University of Kansas. She earned an MA (1962) and a PhD there (1964), both in mathematics. Mary financed her studies with National Science Foundation and National Defense Education Act fellowships, employment as an assistant instructor at the university, and summer employment as a physicist at the National Bureau of Standards. Her dissertation was on Radical Subcategories [13]. It was supervised by William Raymond Scott, an expert in group theory. Scott had 21 PhD students.
