Nelson did her undergraduate studies at the University of North Dakota.[2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1988 at the University of Minnesota. Her dissertation concerned partial differential equations, and was supervised by Eugene Barry Fabes; it was Bounds for the Fundamental Solutions of Degenerate Parabolic Partial Differential Equations.[3] She joined the Carleton College faculty in the same year.[2]

Books

Nelson is the author of two textbooks in mathematics:

She is also the editor-in-chief of the "Problem Books" book series of the Mathematical Association of America.[6]
