Deborah Tepper Haimo (1921–2007) was an American mathematician who became president of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).
She attended the Girls' Latin School in Boston,[3] and first became excited by mathematics in her sophomore year, when she studied Euclidean geometry.
[3] Her instructors there included Hassler Whitney and Saunders Mac Lane, and it was in one of these classes that she met her future husband, Franklin Tepper Haimo.
Her dissertation, supervised by David Widder with additional unofficial mentorship from Isidore Isaac Hirschman Jr. of Washington University, was Integral Equations Associated With Hankel Convolutions.
[6] During her term as president, she created a teaching award, reorganized the MAA's committee structure, and worked to promote women in mathematics.
