'''Agnes P. Berger''' (1916-2002) was a Hungarian-American mathematician who served as an associate professor of biostatistics at [[Columbia University]]'s School of Public Health, as well as a statistical consultant at [[Mount Sinai Hospital (Manhattan)|Mount Sinai]]. <ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
== Early years ==
Her first experiences with mathematics were thanks to the Hungarian publication [[Középiskolai Matematikai és Fizikai Lapok|Kömal]] (Kozepiskolai Matematikai Lapok), a monthly magazine for high school students that included math problems. <ref>Sneha, Narayan (2011). ''[https://ift.tt/3byubI5 Making it in the mathematical community: the case of women mathematicians in Hungary]'' (Master of Arts). Central European University. p. 34.</ref>
During her studies at the University of Budapest, she was a student of the prominent Hungarian mathematician [[Lipót Fejér]], whom she would remember years later for his short, detailed classes and dramatic endings. <ref>Hersh, Reuben; John-Steiner, Vera. [https://ift.tt/2S4lddX "A Visit to Hungarian Mathematics"]. ''The Mathematical Intelligencer'' '''15''' (2): 13-26. Retrieved 26 March 2017.</ref> Her parents were friends with the parents of contemporary mathematician [[Peter Lax]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
She earned her doctorate.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Berger collaborated with other statisticians such at [[Jerzy Neyman]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> She reviewed work of [[Joseph L. Fleiss]], another statistical mathematician.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
== Family life and last years of life ==
Agnes Berger married Laszlo Berger, with whom she had a son, John Joseph Berger. She died at age 85 at Lenox Hill Hospital on March 27, 2002. <ref name=":0" />
