The
Summer
Program for Women in Mathematics
Guest Lectures
Our program of guest lecturers is intended to bring the participants into
contact with a wide variety of mathematical professionals. We invite guest
speakers who inspire, stimulate, and inform the participants. We coordinate the
topics for the guest talks with the mathematical content of our classroom
activities, both by preparing the students beforehand and by allowing time for
discussion afterwards. The guest speakers interact with the participants before
and after their talks and entertain discussions on their background, their
education, and their careers.
