    Biography

    Cathleen Morawetz was christened Cathleen Synge.

    Her father was John Lighton Synge, a mathematician who has a biography in this archive, while her mother, Eleanor Mabel Allen Synge, also had some training as a mathematician. Both Cathleen's parents were Irish but she was born in Toronto while her father held the position of assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto.

    However, when she was two years old the family returned to Ireland when her father was appointed to the chair of Natural Philosophy at Dublin University. When Cathleen was seven years old the family returned to Toronto and it was in Toronto that she attended school.
