Welcome to the Association for Women in Mathematics! The purpose of the
Association for Women in Mathematics is to encourage women and girls to
study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to
promote equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in
the mathematical sciences. Have fun investigating our web pages! - Georgia
Benkart, President of the AWM

Sonia Kovalevsky High School and Middle School Mathematics Days -
Through a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Association for Women in Mathematics expects to
support Sonia Kovalevsky High School and Middle School Mathematics Days at colleges and universities throughout
the country. The purposes are to encourage young women to continue their study of mathematics, to assist them with
the sometimes difficult transitions between middle school and high school mathematics and between high school and
college mathematics, to assist the teachers of women mathematics students, and to encourage colleges and universities
to develop more extensive cooperation with middle schools and high schools in their area. AWM awards grants ranging
on average from $1500 to $2200 each ($3000 maximum) to universities and colleges. Applications must be received by
August 4, 2010.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that the AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture nomination deadline is September 15, 2010,
not November 1st as printed in the July/August issue of the AWM newsletter.
