Association For Women In Mathematics
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is a professional society whose mission is to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity for and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences. The AWM was founded in 1971 and incorporated in the state of Massachusetts. AWM has approximately 5200 members, including over 250 institutional members, such as colleges, universities, institutes, and mathematical societies. It offers numerous programs and workshops to mentor women and girls in the mathematical sciences. Much of AWM's work is supported through federal grants. History The Association was founded in 1971 as the Association of Women Mathematicians, but the name was changed almost immediately. As reported in "A Brief History of the Association for Women in Mathematics: The Presidents' Perspectives", by Lenore Blum: Mary Gray, an early organizer and first president, placed ...

Awards Established In 1990
An award, sometimes called a distinction, is something given to a recipient as a token of recognition of excellence in a certain field. When the token is a medal, ribbon or other item designed for wearing, it is known as a decoration. An award may be described by three aspects: 1) who is given 2) what 3) by whom, all varying according to purpose. The recipient is often to a single person, such as a student or athlete, or a representative of a group of people, be it an organisation, a sports team or a whole country. The award item may be a decoration, that is an insignia suitable for wearing, such as a medal, badge, or rosette (award). It can also be a token object such as certificate, diploma, championship belt, trophy, or plaque. The award may also be or be accompanied by a title of honor, as well as an object of direct value such as prize money or a scholarship. Furthermore, an honorable mention is an award given, typically in education, that does not confer the recipient ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sarah Peluse
Sarah Anne Peluse is an American mathematician specializing in arithmetic combinatorics and analytic number theory, and known for her research on generalizations of Szemerédi's theorem on the existence of polynomial progressions in dense sets of integers. She is an assistant professor and LSA Collegiate Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. Education and career Peluse's interest in mathematics was sparked by a sixth-grade teacher using the Socratic method. After skipping seventh grade, and running through all of the mathematics available at her local high school and community college, she enrolled at Lake Forest College in Illinois at age 15. The mathematics on offer there lasted her only for another two years, so she transferred to the University of Chicago, with Paul Sally and later Maryanthe Malliaris as mentors. She also became a member of the University of Chicago track and field team, which competed at two national championship meets, ...
