AYDA IGNEZ ARRUDA: ASPECTOS HISTÓRICOS DE SUA TRAJETÓRIA CIENTÍFICA NO PARANÁ, ANOS 1956-1968

Abstract

In this article, we present the mathematician from Santa Catarina Ayda Ignez Arruda and historical aspects of her scientific trajectory in Paraná, from 1956 to 1968. Therefore, the results presented here correspond to fragments of a doctoral research developed within the Graduate Program in Education for Science and Mathematics at the State University of Maringá, with goal of to composing a historical-biographical study by Ayda Ignez Arruda and her contributions to the development of Logic in Brazil. To write this article, we used a qualitative approach and the assumptions of biographical writing, which allows flexibility in the construction of a narrative that leads to historical documentary and bibliographic traces about the character. Based on this interface, we verified that Ayda Ignez Arruda, in the late 1950s, had a bachelor's degree and a degree in Mathematics from the Catholic University of Paraná. In the 1960s, she obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics in the area of ​​Mathematical Logic at the Federal University of Paraná under the supervision of Newton Carneiro Affonso da Costa as a Professor of Mathematics Analysis at the Federal University of Paraná. She was a member of the Sociedade Paranaense de Matemática and, together with da Costa, contributed to the Curitiba Group, whose strands of study were aligned with the studies of Mathematical Logic.
