Sonja Kovalevsky was born in Moscow in 1850 and passed away in Stockholm in 1891. Her remarkable life unfolded amid the turbulent changes in Europe, spanning major centers of power and learning in Russia, France, Germany, Switzerland, England, and Sweden. Now, 150 years after her birth, her contributions to mathematics, science, literature, women's rights, and democratic governance continue to be acknowledged worldwide. This volume commemorates her achievements and records the Proceedings of the Marcus Wallenberg Symposium held at Stockholm University from June 18 to 22, 2000. Hosted by the Department of Mathematics, the symposium provided an excellent environment for scholarly discourse. Included are Kovalevsky's curriculum vitae, a comprehensive list of her scientific publications, and a poignant obituary written by her friend Gosta Mittag-Leffler. Additionally, the volume features a leading article titled "Sonja Kovalevsky: Her life and professorship in Stockholm," authored by Jan-Erik Bjork, which was prepared for his major address at the symposium. This collection serves as a tribute to her enduring legacy and impact across various fields.
