UT Math Students,
Please see the message below regarding the Association for Women in
Mathematics essay contest. The deadline for submitting an essay is Jan.
31, 2012. Here is some key information taken from the website
https://sites.google.com/site/awmmath/programs/essay-contest :
"What is the subject of the essay?
Your essay should be based primarily on an interview with a woman
currently working in a mathematical career. The submission must be in
essay form, not just a transcript of your interview.
How long should the essay be?
The essay should be approximately 500 to 1000 words in length.
Who can I write about?
•You may interview and write about any woman currently working in a
mathematical sciences career."
If you are interested in writing an essay but would like a suggestion for
a woman mathematician to interview, please contact me at
[log in to unmask] We have several women mathematicians in the UT Math
Department, any of whom would be very interesting to interview and write
about.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you,
-Mike Frazier
Math Department Head

Dear Colleagues,
To increase awareness of women's ongoing contributions to the mathematical
sciences, the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and Math for
America are co-sponsoring an essay contest for biographies of contemporary
women mathematicians and statisticians in academic, industrial, and
government careers.
The essays will be based primarily on an interview with a woman currently
working in a mathematical sciences career. This contest is open to
students in the following categories: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, and College
Undergraduate. At least one winning submission will be chosen from each
category. Winners will receive a prize, and their essays will be published
online at the AWM web site. Additionally, a grand prize winner will have
his or her submission published in the AWM Newsletter. Full details can
be found at https://sites.google.com/site/awmmath/programs/essay-contest
https://sites.google.com/site/awmmath/programs/essay-contest.
The Deadline for the 2012 AWM Essay Contest is January 31, 2012. Essays
will be submitted through the AWM site at
