Eleanor Mollie Horadam (29 June 1921 – 5 May 2002) was an English-Australian mathematician specialising in the number theory of generalised integers.
Then, while doing wartime service by day for Rolls-Royce performing stress–strain analysis of jet engines, she took night classes in engineering at the University of London, earning first-class honours there.
There, she married mathematician Alwyn Horadam and raised three children, persuading the university to update their maternity policies so that (unusually for the time) she could keep her position as a lecturer.
[1] She completed a doctorate[3] and became a senior lecturer in 1965, retired in 1983, and was named a fellow of the university in 1995.
[4] She was also the author of a textbook published by the University of New England, Principles of mathematics for economists (1982).
