Alicia Boole Stott (8 June 1860 – 17 December 1940)[1] was a British amateur mathematician. She made a number of contributions to the field and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Groningen.[2] She grasped four-dimensional geometry from an early age, and introduced the term "polytope" for a convex solid in four or more dimensions.[3]
