Rosalind Cecilia Hildegard Tanner (née Young) (5 February 1900 – 24 November 1992) was a mathematician and historian of mathematics. She was the eldest daughter of the mathematicians Grace and William Young. She was born and lived in Göttingen in Germany (where her parents worked at the university) until 1908. During her life she used the name Cecily. She then studied at Girton College, Cambridge, gaining a PhD in 1929 under the supervision of Professor E. W. Hobson for research on Stieltjes integration. She accepted a teaching post at Imperial College, London where she worked until 1967.

  • Rosalind Cecilia Hildegard Tanner, geborene Young, sie benutzte den Vornamen Cecily, (* 5. Februar 1900 in Göttingen; † 24. November 1992) war eine britische Mathematikerin und Mathematikhistorikerin. Sie veröffentlichte bis 1953 unter Rosalind Cecily Young oder R. Cecily Young und danach als R. C. H. Tanner. Rosalind Tanner war die älteste Tochter (von sechs Kindern) der Mathematiker Grace Chisholm Young und William Henry Young. Sie ging in Göttingen, Genf und Lausanne zur Schule und studierte ab 1917 an der Universität Lausanne mit einem Lizenziats-Abschluss 1925 (Licenciée es Sciences Math). Dazwischen arbeitete sie mit ihrem Vater am University College Wales in Aberystwyth und mit Edward Collingwood an der Übersetzung eines Lehrbuchs von Georges Valiron, das 1923 als Lecture on the general theory of integral functions erschien. Von Lausanne ging sie 1925 an die Universität Cambridge ans Girton College und wurde dort 1928 bei Ernest William Hobson promoviert (Foundations For The Generalisation Of The Theory Of Stieltjes' Integration And Of The Theory Of Length, Area And Volume. An N-Dimensional Treatment). In einer 1931 erschienenen aus ihrer Dissertation hervorgegangenen Arbeit, war sie eine Pionierin der Intervallarithmetik. Ab 1936 befasste sie sich nicht mehr mit mathematischer Forschung, arbeitete aber eine Weile mit Sydney Chapman an einem Lehrbuch der mathematischen Physik, das nicht vollendet wurde. Ab 1933 war sie am Imperial College London, wo sie ein mathematisches Forschungsseminar einrichtete (u. a. 1961 mit G. J. Whithrow) und sich mit Mathematikgeschichte befasste, speziell des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts und mit Thomas Harriot, über den sie Seminare in Oxford (1967) und Durham organisierte. 1967 ging sie in den Ruhestand, blieb aber wissenschaftlich aktiv. Das Forschungsseminar zu Harriot, von ihr 1967 gegründet, findet noch heute jährlich abwechselnd in Durham (von ihr 1979 gegründet) und in Oxford statt. 1953 heiratete sie Bernard Tanner, der als Ingenieur die technischen Einrichtungen des Imperial College überwachte, aber neun Monate nach der Hochzeit starb.

She also helped her father's research between 1919 and 1921 at the University College Wales in Aberystwyth, and worked with Edward Collingwood, also of Aberystwyth, on a translation of Georges Valiron's course on Integral Functions. She received a L-És-sc (a bachelor's degree) from Lausanne in 1925. She then studied at Girton College, Cambridge, gaining a PhD in 1929 under the supervision of Professor E. W. Hobson for research on Stieltjes integration. She accepted a teaching post at Imperial College, London where she worked until 1967. After 1936, most of her research was in the history of mathematics, and she had a particular interest in Thomas Harriot, an Elizabethan mathematician. She set up the Harriot Seminars in Oxford and Durham. Rosalind married William Tanner in 1953; however, he died a few months after their marriage. In 1972 she and Ivor Grattan-Guinness published a second edition of her parents' book The Theory of Sets of Points, originally published in 1906. Rosalind Tanner died on 24 November 1992. (en)

Após 1936, a maior parte de suas pesquisas foi sobre história da matemática, e ela se interessou particularmente por Thomas Harriot e outros matemáticos da época. Ela iniciou os Harriot Seminars em Oxford e Durham. Rosalind casou com William Tanner em 1953, contudo ele morreu poucos meses após o casamento. Seu interesse nos séculos XVI e XVII continuou após sua aposentadoria, e ela morreu em novembro de 1992. (pt)
