Ruth Moufang was a prominent German mathematician known for her contributions to the field of algebra, particularly in the study of projective planes and non-Euclidean geometry. She is recognized for her work in geometry and her development of Moufang loops, which are algebraic structures generalizing certain properties of groups. Moufang made significant contributions to the understanding of associative properties and their role in the structure of mathematical systems.
