While the name does sound like a pseudonym, I doubt it was a famous mathematician, more probably a high school teacher or a student. In a 1892 article she is mentionning Brussels as her hometown (but this could be a decoy), see archive.org/stream/s4journaldemathm01pari#page/162/mode/2up/… In any case, it does indeed appear to be difficult to identify the author. | |
