Judith Querida Longyear (20 September 1938[1]–13 December 1995[2]) was an American mathematician and professor whose research interests included graph theory and combinatorics. Longyear was the second woman to ever earn a mathematics Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University,[3] where she studied under the supervision of Sarvadaman Chowla and wrote a thesis entitled Tactical Configurations.[4][5] Longyear taught mathematics at several universities including California Institute of Technology,[6] Dartmouth College[7] and Wayne State University.[8] She worked on nested block designs[6][9] and Hadamard matrices.[10]
