PRiME (Pomona Research in Mathematics Experience)

PRiME Speaker Series

PRiME is hosting a speaker series to further discuss the history of African American in the mathematical sciences. We believe this speaker series, focused on Black mathematician narratives, will enrich the students research immensely.

Talks will be recorded and posted online on YouTube. PRiME REU students will be in attendance, but we also plan to broadcast them live for broader viewing. Talks will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 PM - 2 PM Pacific / 4 PM - 5 PM Eastern.
