This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Sofia Kovalevskaya is a USA Geocoin Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

Famous Mathematicians #3: Sofia Kovalevskaya

Each semester my students complete a “History of Mathematics” project. Through these projects we have learned about some pretty interesting mathematicians. This coin is in honor of Sofia Kovalevskaya, whose nursery when she was 11 was papered with lecture notes on differential and integral analysis from which she learned calculus. This coin would like to travel to her native land of Russia and along the way visit caches that require you to solve a mathematical problem to find the cache whenever possible.
