Ninth?

[edit]

What does this mean: Geraldine Claudette Darden (1936- ) was the ninth African American U.S. Mathematician? This needs some clarification/correction.--☾Loriendrew☽ (talk) 20:24, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably the fact comes from this page, which doesn't really explain how they are determining whether or not someone is a 'mathematician'. This page on the same site seems to contradict the "ninth", saying she is the fourteenth African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in Mathematics. I'll change the article to reflect the second page, which is less ambiguous, but a more reliable source would be preferred. Gobōnobō + c 20:22, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
