Julia Robinson and Hilbert's Tenth Problem
Robinson's story is told with affection and respect, backed by a wide array of archival footage, stills, and recordings, as well as recollections from other mathematicians, and—especially—reminiscences by her sister Constance Reid (author of a biography on Robinson), who provides a warm personal touch.—F. Swietek, Video Librarian, July 2008This movie contains a portrait of Julia Robinson, a mathematician widely recognized for her contribution to the solution of Hilbert's tenth problem. Together with her life story, it explains the history and principles of this outstanding result.—EMS Newsletter, December 2009
