2^nd Annual Women in Mathematics Symposium

Saturday, February 20, 2010

The EDGE Southern California mentoring network in collaboration with the Women in Math group at USC is organizing a one-day symposium for Women in Mathematics in Southern California. Our vision for the symposium is two-fold.

1. The symposium will provide an opportunity for women in mathematics in the southern California area to get to know each other on a personal as well as a professional level. Our aim is to create a network of women mathematicians in the southern California area in order to nurture collaborations and provide a framework for mentoring.

2. The symposium will provide an opportunity for graduate students to develop professionally by giving a mathematical talk in a supportive, non-threatening environment.

Keynote address by Professor Susan Montgomery

University of Southern California

Where: University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Directions will be emailed to registered participants closer to the date.

· Learn about the research of other women in Southern California

· Present your work in a supportive environment

· Network with other Southern Californian women mathematicians

· Explore issues surrounding being a woman in mathematics

Where to go if you have registered:

The symposium will be held in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Southern California (University Park Campus).
The Department of Mathematics is located in Kaprielian (KAP) at the west edge of campus on Vermont and 36th St (called Downey Way on campus).  We'll gather in KAP 410; talks will be in KAP 414 and 245.
