American mathematician often referred to as "one of the two most noted American women in the field of mathematics." Hazlett spent the majority of her professional career as a mathematics instructor at the University of Chicago, where she taught calculus, plane trigonometry, and analytic geometry. She also taught graduate studies in modern algebra. The renowned mathematician authored 17 research papers, more than any other pre-1940 American women mathematician. Her research on invariants of nilpotent algebras appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics in 1916.
