LifeShe was born Muriel Kennett on 9 June 1913 in Belfast. In 1914, her mother moved to Vancouver and soon remarried; henceforth Muriel was known by her mother's new last name, Wales.[3] She was first educated at the University of British Columbia (BA 1934, MA 1937 with the thesis Determination of Bases for Certain Quartic Number Fields).[4] In 1941 she was awarded the PhD from the University of Toronto for the dissertation Theory Of Algebraic Functions Based On The Use Of Cycles under Samuel Beatty[5] (himself the first person to receive a PhD in mathematics in Canada, in 1915).[6] She spent most of the 1940s working in atomic energy, in Toronto and Montreal, but by 1949 had retired back to Vancouver where she worked in her step-father's shipping company.[3] References1. ^The First Irish Woman with a Doctorate in Maths Mathematics Ireland 2. ^The first woman born and brought up in Ireland to get a PhD in mathematical science–as opposed to pure mathematics–was Sheila Tinney, in 1941. 3. ^1 {{MacTutor Biography|id=Wales}} 4. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=_AwsYAAACAAJ&dq=Muriel+Wales&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIzPLxrrzKAhWBOiYKHS5eDnIQ6AEIHDAA Determination of Bases for Certain Quartic Number Fields], University of British Columbia (1937) 5. ^[https://www.amazon.com/THEORY-ALGEBRAIC-FUNCTIONS-BASED-CYCLES/dp/B00KJ0XT04/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1499130471&sr=1-4&keywords=Muriel+Wales Theory Of Algebraic Functions Based On The Use Of Cycles], Pamphlet, Trans Royal Society of Canada (1944), ASIN: B00KJ0XT04 6. ^Samuel Beatty MacTutor History of Mathematics archive, University of St Andrews.
