Participants will have the opportunity to meet with other women mathematicians at all stages of their careers. All mathematicians (female and male) are invited to attend the entire program. Departments are urged to help graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s who do not receive funding to obtain some institutional support to attend the workshop and The associated meetings. The deadline for applications for presenting and funding has expired. Inquiries regarding future workshops may be made to AWM by telephone: 301-405-7892, by email: awm@math.umd.edu, or by visiting http://www.awm-math.org/.

AWM seeks volunteers to lead discussion groups and to act as mentors for workshop participants. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the AWM office.

Others

Math on the Web, Wednesday to Saturday, various times. The problem of communicating Math on the Web is really no different than communicating math via other media. Namely, authoring and displaying mathematical notation is difficult. On top of that, the Web is a dynamic medium, where users can interact with rich media documents in sophisticated ways. This introduces a whole new layer of challenges and possibilities for engaging, interactive communication between authors and readers.

Topics to be presented include MathML Markup; MathML, Realizing the Promise; Creating Interactive Web Pages with MathML; Displaying MathML in Browsers; Creating Mathematical Documents for the Web with Scientific WorkPlace; TeX to Web Conversion; MathML and Accessibility; A Spotlight on MathML-savvy Applications; Math on the Web with Mathematica Technology; and more! Stop by the Math on the Web Pavilion to see the complete schedule.

A Live Computer Experiment, Wednesday, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., presented by Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram, Inc. There will be a discussion of A New Kind of Science, Mathematica, and the role of mathematics in today's world, as well as an opportunity to see a new form of mathematical discovery in action. There will be ample time for questions from the audience.

Summer Program for Women in Mathematics (SPWM), Thursday, 2:00 p.m. ­ 4:00 p.m., organized by Murli Gupta, George Washington University. SPWM participants will describe their experiences from past programs.
