Advances in Mathematical Sciences: AWM Research Symposium, Houston, TX, April 2019

by Bahar Acu, Donatella Danielli, Marta Lewicka, Arati Pati, Saraswathy RV

Overview

This volume highlights the mathematical research presented at the 2019 Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Research Symposium held at Rice University, April 6-7, 2019. The symposium showcased research from women across the mathematical sciences working in academia, government, and industry, as well as featured women across the career spectrum: undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and professionals.

The book is divided into eight parts, opening with a plenary talk and followed by a combination of research paper contributions and survey papers in the different areas of mathematics represented at the symposium:

• algebraic combinatorics and graph theory
• algebraic biology
• commutative algebra
• analysis, probability, and PDEs
• topology
• applied mathematics
• mathematics education
