Olga Taussky-Todd (1906-yil 30-avgust — 1995-yil 7-oktyabr) — asli avstriyalik boʻlgan, chexiyalik matematik olima. 1947-yilda AQSHga koʻchib ketgan. U 1986-yilda Amerika Fanlarni Rivojlantirish Assotsiatsiyasining faxriy aʼzoligiga saylangan.

Maktabdagi ishlar, agar kishi oʻzini unga bagʻishlasa, unchalik qiyin emas edi, lekin ular shunchalik qiziqarsiz ediki, oʻzingni bagʻishlashni xohlamasding. Men boshqa bir matematika borligini his qilar edim. Keyinchalik bildimki, matematik tushunchaga boʻlgan intilish va undan olinadigan mamnuniyat bu fanni sanʼatga yaqinlashtiradi. Isteʼdod, shubhasiz, zarur boʻlsa-da, uning oʻzi har doim ham insonni matematik qila olmaydi. Shunga qaramay, matematika bilan shugʻullanadigan koʻpchilik odamlar buni oʻzlarining qobiliyatli ekanliklarini bilganlari uchun qilishadi. Ularning isteʼdodi sekin-asta pasayganda, ular baʼzan oʻzlarini butkul yoʻqotib qoʻyadilar. Baʼzi odamlarda bu erta yoshda sodir boʻladi. Lekin unda ular nima qilishlari kerak?

The work at school was really not that difficult if one applied oneself to it, but it was so uninteresting that you could not wish to apply yourself. I felt there was another mathematics. I later found that the yearning for and the satisfaction gained from mathematical inslight brings the subject near to art. While talent is undoubtedly needed by itself, it does not always make a person a mathematician. Yet most people who go into mathematics do it because they are know they are good at it. When their talent slowly declines they find themselves occasionally quite lost. This happens to some people at an early age. But what are they to do then?

Schlickka boʻlgan hurmatimga qaramay, men uning seminarini, hatto aʼzo boʻlgan shaxsiy davrasini ham tark etdim. Men Vienna toʻgaragidagi eng yosh aʼzo edim, ammo bu yigʻilishlar mening sonlar nazariyasidagi ishim uchun yoʻl-yoʻriq bera olmaganidan hafsalam pir boʻldi. Agar keyinchalik Gödel nimalarga erishishini anglaganimda edi, qochib ketmagan boʻlardim. Chunki Gödelning natijalari shuni koʻrsatadiki, mantiq alohida turuvchi va matematik tafakkur uchun asos boʻladigan fan emas; u aslida matematikaning bir qismidir.

In spite of my admiration for Schlick, I myself left his seminar and even his private circle, to which I had been admitted. I was the youngest in age in the Vienna Circle, but I was disappointed that these gatherings could not give me guidance for my work in number theory. Had I realized what Gödel would achieve later, I would not have run away. For Gödel's results show that logic is not a subject that stands alone and is a basis for mathematical thinking; it is in fact part of mathematics.

Olga Taussky-Todd haqida iqtiboslar

	Olga Taussky koʻpchilikning xotirasida oʻzining maʼruzalari bilan qolgan. Ulardan biri 1981-yilda AWM (Association for Women in Mathematics) tomonidan tashkil etilgan Noether maʼruzasi boʻlib, bu alohida ahamiyatga ega edi, chunki u Emmy Noether bilan ham Göttingen, ham Bryn Mawr universitetlarida birga boʻlgan. Boshqalar Olgani goʻzal ilmiy maqolalar muallifi, ustoz, hamkasb hamda matematikaga boʻlgan ishtiyoqi chuqur va boshqalarga ham yuqumli boʻlgan inson sifatida eslashadi. Uning nomi eng koʻp bogʻlanadigan soha — „chiziqli algebra va uning tatbiqlari“ (baʼzilar „haqiqiy va kompleks matritsalar nazariyasi“ deb atashni afzal koʻradilar) 1930-yillarda hali mustaqil soha sifatida mavjud emas edi. Uning ushbu sohadagi xizmatlari beqiyosdir, buni Rolli (Raleigh) konferensiyasidagi maʼruzasidan soʻng barcha tik turib olqishlagani ham tasdiqlaydi.
	Olga Taussky is remembered by many for her lectures. One was AWM's Noether Lecture in 1981; this had a special resonance, for she had known Emmy Noether both at Göttingen and at Bryn Mawr. Others remember Olga as author of some beautiful research papers, as teacher, as collaborator, and someone whose zest for mathematics was deeply felt and contagious. The field she is most identified with—which might be called "linear algebra and applications," though "real and complex matrix theory" would be preferred by some—did not have autonomous existence in the 1930s, despite the textbook by C. C. MacDuffee. Her service in that field is the very highest, as was palpable in the standing ovation after her survey talk at the second Raleigh conference.
