Florida Women in Mathematics Day

 

The Florida Women in Mathematics Day will be held at Florida Atlantic University on Saturday, February 9, 2019.  FWIMD is a one-day conference designed to promote women in mathematics including a half-day immersion experience for girls interested in mathematics.

FWIMD will feature Research Talks, Presentations, networking, mentoring across all levels, a career panel, and a hands-on mathematics activity for local high school students.  This conference is open to anyone interested in mathematics at FAU and neighboring Florida institutions. Graduate students, undergraduates, high school students, faculty, and educators are all welcome!

We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker is  Dr. Rosemary Guzman (University of Chicago).  Dr. Guzman is an American Academy of University Women (AAUW) American Fellow and Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago with a research focus in hyperbolic 3-manifolds and low-dimensional topology. 

 

In addition, participants have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the research of other women in Florida
• Present their work in a supportive environment
• Network with other Florida women mathematicians
• Explore career opportunities and experiences of women in mathematics

 

This event was made possible with the generous support of Lisa Simonyi, the IAS Women and Mathematics Program, and the FAU Department of Mathematical Sciences.
