Anne Penfold Street AM (1932–2016) was one of Australia's leading mathematicians,[1] specialising in combinatorics. She was the third woman to become a mathematics professor in Australia, following Hanna Neumann and Cheryl Praeger.[2][3] She was the author of several textbooks,[4] and her work on sum-free sets became a standard reference for its subject matter.[5] She helped found several important organizations in combinatorics, developed a researcher network, and supported young students with interest in mathematics.[4]
