THEY MADE HISTORY IN MATHEMATICS

Abstract

This article aims to verify the perception of mathematics undergraduates about the contributions and visibility of women in mathematics. This is a qualitative research, for which a questionnaire was produced on the Google Forms platform with eight questions, applied to fourth-year students of the Mathematics Degree course at a public university in the state of Pará, related to issues about gender and science. With the application of the questions, it was found that although the students recognize that women are part of the history of mathematics, few know them. In addition, because they are students in the last year of the course, it was noted that the female figure had little contact during the disciplines studied in previous years
