5 with 5: Ep1 - Five minutes with Cheryl Praeger

In the 1960’s, Cheryl Praeger wasn’t expected to become a mathematician, but she has never been greatly bothered by expectations.At a time when women were expected to stay at home and raise a family she was discouraged from studying mathematics. With her passion, aptitude and a good deal hard work Cheryl became a leading light in mathematics.Praeger's key research is in Group Theory and Combinatorics, including analysis of algorithms and complexity, discrete mathematics and geometry – remarkably she was first published in 1970 while still an undergraduate, and she has since become one of Australia’s leading mathematicians. It all adds up to a great yarn – take five with Cheryl Praeger.
