Marie Litzinger (May 14,1899 – April 7, 1952) was an American mathematician known for her research in number theory, homogeneous polynomials, and modular arithmetic. She earned her bachelor's degree and master's degree at Bryn Mawr College in 1920 and 1922, respectively. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1934. While studying, she taught mathematics at secondary institutions, before becoming an instructor at Mount Holyoke College in 1925, where she remained for the rest of her career and rose to the rank of department chair. She was a member of the American Mathematical Society, among other professional societies.[1][2][3]
