The LSU VIGRE Program will provide the funds for the first Sonia Kovalevsky High School Mathematics Day at LSU to be held May 8th, 2010!
Silvia Jimenez, Zuhal Yeter, and Anna Zemlyanova, with Prof. Brenner's help, wrote a proposal during the summer 2009 to organize a SK Day at LSU. On October 8th, 2009 we received a letter from AWM with the news that the proposal was approved and we were awarded $1500 for support of the SK Day. But on November 20th, 2009 we received an email notifying us that the AWM had to rescind the award. Luckily, the LSU VIGRE Program decided to help us by funding the activity. We will need the collaboration of all the members to make this activity a success!
Congratulations to the new officers of the AWM Student Chapter!.
Starting next Summer, the Chapter will have new officers: Zuhal Yeter (President), Maria Vega (Vice-President), Susan Abernathy (Secretary), Amber Russell (Treasurer) and Laura Rider (WebMaster). Congratulations to all of them!!!
Prof. Irina Mitrea from Worcester Polytechnic Institute visited LSU on Nov 3rd. to give a Math Colloquium and to meet with the members of our Chapter.
The Chapter had the event "A conversation with Prof. Irina Mitrea" last Tuesday Nov 3. Later that day, Prof. Mitrea gave a Colloquium talk "Boundary Value Problems for Higher Order Elliptic Operators".
