LAS CRUCES - Carol Walker’s father may not have dreamed what the future had in store for her, but when little Carol was in elementary school, her dad introduced her to mathematics.
“My father used to teach me the sine squared plus the cosine squared equals 1,” Walker said. “I had no idea what it meant, but I didn’t question it.”
Years later Walker would not only learn what it meant, but also would become the first woman to earn a Ph.D. at New Mexico State University. She was the second graduate student to earn a Ph.D. in math.
