She is the daughter of mathematician Laurence Chisholm Young and through him the grand-daughter of mathematicians Grace Chisholm Young and William Henry Young.[2][2] Her family moved to Wisconsin in 1949, and she graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1966 after three years of study.[1] In 1971 Wiegand earned her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.[3] Her dissertation was titled Galois Theory of Essential Expansions of Modules and Vanishing Tensor Powers.[3] In 1987 she was named full professor at the University of Nebraska; at the time Wiegand was the only female professor in the math department.[1] In 1988 Sylvia headed a search committee for two new jobs in the math department, for which two women were hired, although one stayed only a year and another left after four years.[4] In 1996 Sylvia and her husband Roger established a fellowship for graduate student research at the university in honor of Sylvia's grandparents.[5] From 1997 until 2000, Wiegand was President of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[6][7] Wiegand has served as an editor for Communications in Algebra and the Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics.[2] She served on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Math Society from 1997 to 2000.[2] RecognitionWiegand is featured in the book Notable Women in Mathematics: A Biographical Dictionary, edited by Charlene Morrow and Teri Perl, published in 1998.[1] For her work in improving the status of women in mathematics, she was awarded the University of Nebraska's Outstanding Contribution to the Status of Women Award in 2000.[4] In May 2005, the University of Nebraska hosted the Nebraska Commutative Algebra Conference: WiegandFest "in celebration of the many important contributions of Sylvia and her husband Roger Wiegand."[1] In 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[8] In 2017, she was selected as a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class.[9] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/wiegand.htm |title=Sylvia Wiegand |publisher=Agnesscott.edu |date=1945-03-08 |accessdate=2012-10-31}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=https://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/wiegand.htm|title=Sylvia Wiegand|website=www.agnesscott.edu|access-date=2018-10-06}} 3. ^1 {{MathGenealogy|9211}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.aacu.org/ocww/volume32_3/feature.cfm?section=1 |title=OCWW | Vol 32, Issue 3-4 | Features |publisher=Aacu.org |date= |accessdate=2012-10-31 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20031110164028/http://www.aacu.org/OCWW/volume32_3/feature.cfm?section=1 |archivedate=2003-11-10 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|author=PO BOX 880130 |url=http://www.math.unl.edu/department/awards/graduate/#young |title=UNL | Arts & Sciences | Math | Department | Awards | Graduate Student Awards |publisher=Math.unl.edu |date=2010-11-18 |accessdate=2012-10-31}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.math.unl.edu/~swiegand1/ |title=Sylvia Wiegand's Homepage |publisher=Math.unl.edu |date= |accessdate=2012-10-31}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ams.org/notices/199901/awm.pdf|title=AWM Profile|publisher=Ams.org|accessdate=2012-10-31}} 8. ^List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, retrieved 2013-09-01. 9. ^{{cite web|title=AWM Fellows|url=https://awm-math.org/awards/awm-fellows/|publisher=Association for Women in Mathematics|accessdate=19 March 2019}} External links
