Judith (Judy) Green (born 1943)[1] is an American logician and historian of mathematics who studies women in mathematics. She is a founding member of the Association for Women in Mathematics; she has also served as its vice president, and as the vice president of the American Association of University Professors.
Green earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University.She completed a master's degree at Yale University,and a Ph.D. at the University of Maryland, College Park.Her dissertation, supervised by Carol Karp and finished in 1972, wasConsistency Properties for Uncountable Finite-Quantifier Languages.
Green was elected an AMS Member at Large in 1975 and served for three years until 1977.[2] She belonged to the faculty of Rutgers University before moving to Marymount University in 1989. After retiring from Marymount in 2007, she became a volunteer at the National Museum of American History.
With Jeanne LaDuke, she wrote Pioneering Women in American Mathematics: The Pre-1940 PhD’s (American Mathematical Society and London Mathematical Society, 2009). This was a biographical study of the first women in the U.S. to earn doctorates in mathematics.
She is part of the 2019 class of fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics.
