Kovalevskayas life was full of ups and downs. Her life could be the same name as the play The Struggle for Happiness, which she wrote with her friend Anna Leffler. The only thing she wanted to do was to study mathematics. And it is not by chance. Her grandfather and her great grandfather were mathematicians. Her uncle, Pyotr Krukovsky was fond of mathematics and Sophia liked to listen to him. Sophia was a nervous child who was not happy at home and mathematics helped her to get away from the problems. In 1870 Kovalevskaya went to Berlin but she couldnt attend classes there. She took private lessons. Her teacher was Karl Weierstrass who didnt take Sophia seriously at first, but then he understood that she was a gifted child. In 1878 Kovalevskayas daughter was born. Her name was Sophia too but her mother called her Fufa. In 1888 Kovalevskaya got a prize from the French Academy. Her work was so brilliant that she got 5000 francs. All in all she wrote 10 papers on mathematics. When her life was hard she wrote. She said: It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in the soul. QUESTIONS TO THE TEXT.
