ARTICLE EVALUATION Hannah Billig

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

• In the paragraph titled "Early Medical Career" it describes that she drove a Morris Cowley car, which I think is slightly irrelevant to the page.

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

• The article appears to be pretty neutral. There doesn't seem to be any views or opinions that are very extreme in any way.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

• The article doesn't really talk about her life as a doctor, such as how good or bad she actually was. It never mentioned her healing skills or what she did.

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

• The citations do seem to work, and they have better information about Hannah then the actual article does.

Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

• The references appear to be reliable and appropriate, with good information provided. Neither appear to be biased, mostly just biographies about her life.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

• The article definitely needs to be much more detailed. More information needs to be provided about her life and little details about it.

Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?

• There doesn't appear to be any talks about this article on wikipedia.

How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?

• No it is not a rated article.

How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

• Wiki just talks about this topic very vaguely and doesn't go into much detail about it.

Assigned Article: Frieda Nugel

Her article is extremely sparse, with very little effort put into it. I plan on searching through the bibliography I found on her and using that predominantly.

Week 8: Drafting an article

Frieda Nugel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frieda Nugel (1884–1966) was a German mathematician and civil rights activist, one of the first German women to earn a doctorate in mathematics. She earned her PhD at Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg in 1912, under the supervision of August Gutzmer (de).

Born on June 18, 1884 in Cottbus, Germany, Nugel was the fourth of six children born to Arthur Nugel and Marie Bomb . She eared her beginning education at the girls school until about 1901. In 1906 she became certified as a teacher, and began working as a private instructor for the Werdeck family near Cottbus. She started university studies in Berlin in 1907, moved to Munich in 1909, and moved again to Halle in the same year.

She took a position as a teacher at a girls' school in Cottbus, but taught there only for two years, until her marriage to Louis Hahn in 1914. The first of their four children was born in 1915. She moved with her husband to Altena and then Emden, her husband's home town, where he worked at his family's newspaper business. She taught intermittently at two schools there from 1914 to 1918, during World War I, but from then until 1927 she taught only privately, also publishing works promoting civil rights and better education for women.

In 1927, after the collapse of her husband's newspaper business, Hahn obtained a part-time position at a school in Emden. By 1930 her position there had become permanent, albeit at a smaller salary than the men in her school. During World War II, the school moved to Bad Wildungen; her two sons served as officers in the war, and were both killed in 1944.

Hahn retired in 1945. In 1962, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Halle gave her a "Golden Doctoral Diploma" award, on the 50th anniversary of her 1912 dissertation. She died on November 6, 1966.

Education

Freida first began her early education within her home taught by her father. When she was a little older she studied at the Mädhcen-Mittelschule, an all girls school in Cottbus. At the age of sixteen she studied at the Höhere Mädchenschule, there she finished up her education before taking the board exams to become a teacher.

After passing her exams she stayed in Cottbus working as a tutor for a wealthy family. While teaching, she began to take private mathematics instruction from Dr. Ruldolf Tiemann. He began to tutor her so she could take the final examinations for school. On September 16, 1907 she traveled to Berlin to take the test at the Luisenstadtische Oberschule.

Because of Dr. Tiemann's help she was able to begin studying at Berlin University taking various classes in mathematics, physics and German. Being one of the best centers for mathematics it was the best place for Freida to complete for education.

For her final year studying she moved onto the University of Munich to broaden her math studies under Ferdinand Lindemann. Here, she received her Undergraduate education.

To recieve her doctorate degree Freida moved onto the Martin-Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. In 1912 she submitted her final thesis over "The Helixes: A Monographic Presentation". After passing her oral examinations she received her doctorate in mathematics. Receiving this high degree, Freida became the first woman to receive a doctorate in Germany.

Career & life

Her first job after receiving her doctorate was in the Augusta school in Cottbus. At the same time she became engaged to Louis Hahn, whom she had met while he was studying for his doctorate in history at Halle.

The two were married on April 4, 1914 and the two moved to Emden, Westphalia after the birth of their daughter, Ingeborg. With World War I breaking out Freida had to work at the Kaiser-Friedrich-Oberralschule. With the war cooling down Frieda gave birth to three more children, Helmut, Gerold, and Waltraut. Since she had a busy household, Frieda was forced to work from home where she privately tutored from 1918-1928.

With the German economy falling due to WWI, Louis was laid off and the household income was put upon Freida. In 1930 she began to work in Emden full time. When World War II broke out Emden came under attack from European and American bombings. During this time as well both of her sons, Helmut and Gerold, were serving in the German military and died in combat. Towards the end of the war Frieda was forced to retire from teaching to care for Lewis who fell ill from a mystery illness.

In 1952 Lewis died from his illness and Freida moved in with her daughter Ingebord. Living near both of her daughters she was able to stay close to them and also help to tutor her grandchildren.

In 1962, 50 years after having received her doctorate she was honored by the Martin-Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg for her "mathematically historically valuable" thesis.

On November 6, 1966 Freida died in her home in Godesberg, she was 82.
