The phenomenon of twins, triplets, quadruplets, and other higher order multiples has fascinated humans for centuries and has even captured the attention of mathematicians who have sought to model the probabilities of multiple births. However, there has not been extensive research into the phenomenon of polyovulation, which is one of the biological mechanisms that produces multiple births. In this paper, I describe how my own experience becoming a mother to twins led me on a quest to better understand the scientific processes going on inside my own body and motivated me to conduct research on polyovulation frequencies. An overview of the previous mathematical research on multiple births, as well as my own contributions involving polyovulation, is presented. Furthermore, I discuss more generally how motherhood can influence and enrich the research agendas of mathematicians.

双胞胎母亲启发的数学研究项目

双胞胎,三胞胎,四胞胎和其他高阶倍数的现象使人类着迷了几个世纪,甚至吸引了试图模拟多胎概率的数学家的注意力。但是,尚未对多排卵现象进行广泛的研究,多排卵现象是产生多胎的生物学机制之一。在本文中,我描述了自己成为双胞胎母亲的经历如何使我寻求更好地理解我体内发生的科学过程,并激发我进行多排卵频率的研究。介绍了以前关于多胎的数学研究的概述,以及我自己对多胎排卵的贡献。此外,
