Association for Women in Mathematics
Careers in
Mathematics
by Margaret Menzin and Robert Goldman Mathematics is among the most fascinating of all intellectual disciplines, the purest of all art forms, and the most challenging of games. The study of mathematics is not only exciting, but important: mathematicians have an opportunity to make a lasting contribution to society by helping to solve problems in such diverse fields as medicine, management, economics. government, computer science, physics, psychology, engineering, and social science. In this pamphlet we try to give you a flavor of some of the areas of mathematics in which there are many opportunities. At the end we provide a brief "road map" of mathematics. A bachelor's degree in mathematics will prepare you for fascinating jobs in statistics, actuarial sciences, mathematical modeling, and cryptography; for teaching; as well as for graduate school leading to a research career in mathematics or statistics. A strong background in mathematics is also necessary for research in many areas of computer science, social science, and engineering. As you read this pamphlet, look for several themes:

148. SIAM Southwestern Regional Mathematics In Industry Workshop
Houston, Texas, USA; 2728 April 2001.
http://www.siam.org/meetings/mii01sw/
Hosted by: Rice University and the University of Houston
Organizing Committee: William E. Fitzgibbon, Barbara Lee Keyfitz, Petr Kloucek, Tsorng-Whay Pan, Danny C. Sorensen This is the sixth and final workshop in a series of regional meetings focusing on mathematics in industry. These workshops (funded by an NSF grant to SIAM) are intended to provide a forum for discussion of applied/industrial mathematics programs. See http://www.siam.org/mii/ for pointers to previous workshop in this series and the SIAM Report on Mathematics in Industry. The goal of the Southwest workshop is to facilitate discussion between faculty, students and mathematicians engaged in research in industry and government laboratories. The scientific program will focus on aspects of energy and the environment indigenous to our geographic region. In addition, the workshop will feature presentations of starting and maintaining successful graduate and undergraduate programs that prepare students for careers in industry. There will be a roundtable discussion on industrial internships. All attendees are encouraged to contribute to a poster session. For further information about the workshop, visit

152. Why Study Calculus? A Brief History Of Math

http://www.math.vanderbilt.edu/~schectex/courses/whystudy.html
Why Do We Study Calculus?
or,
a brief look at some of the history of mathematics
an essay by Eric Schechter
version of September 10, 1999 The question I am asked most often is, "why do we study this?" (or its variant, "will this be on the exam?"). Though some students will eventually use integrals and derivatives in their work in physics, chemistry, or economics, most will never use epsilons and deltas. Applied mathematicians may use a theorem such as "the limit of the product is the product of the limits"; we only need epsilons and deltas to prove such theorems. If the applied mathematician takes the attitude that "I trust the pure mathematicians who say they have proved this theorem," then the applied mathematician does not need to study epsilons and deltas at all. But calculus is not a just vocational training course. In part, students should study calculus for the same reasons that they study Darwin, Marx, Voltaire, or Dostoyevsky: These ideas are a basic part of our culture; these ideas have shaped how we perceive the world and how we perceive our place in the world. To understand how that is true of calculus, we must put calculus into a historical perspective; we must contrast the world before calculus with the world after calculus. (Probably we should put more history into our calculus courses. There is a growing movement among mathematics teachers to do precisely that.) The earliest mathematics was perhaps the arithmetic of commerce: If I am willing to trade 3 of my goats for one of your cows, how many goats will 4 cows cost me? The ancient Greeks did a great deal of clever thinking, but very few experiments; this led to some errors. For instance, Aristotle observed that a rock falls faster than a feather, and concluded that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects. Aristotle's views persisted for centuries, until the discovery of air resistance.

    The Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSM) is ORNL's premier source of basic and applied research in high-performance computing, applied mathematics, and intelligent systems. Basic and applied research programs are focused on computational sciences, intelligent systems, and information technologies. Our mission includes working on important national priorities with advanced computing systems, working cooperatively with U.S. Industry to enable efficient, cost-competitive design, and working with universities to enhance science education and scientific awareness. Our researchers are finding new ways to solve problems beyond the reach of most computers and are putting powerful software tools into the hands of students, teachers, government researchers, and industrial scientists.
    Benchmarks show Cray X1 suitable for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations a first step in understanding lubrication
    There is an enormous variety of problems involving MD that require large amounts of computation, both major extensions of existing studies and exploration in new fields that have yet to be tackled because of a lack of adequate high-performance computing capability. Recent studies using vectorization of Rapaport’s scalable domain-decomposed MD code show essentially perfect scaling up to the full size of the Cray X1 (512 MSP nodes at the time of the runs) at NCCS demonstrating the capability of the Cray X1 to deal with problems of this type.

Contact the cognizant program officer for the award or proposal that would be supplemented. SYNOPSIS
    The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program supports active research participation by undergraduate students in any of the areas of research funded by the National Science Foundation. REU projects involve students in meaningful ways in ongoing research programs or in research projects designed especially for the purpose. This solicitation features two mechanisms for support of student research: (1) REU Sites are based on independent proposals to initiate and conduct projects that engage a number of students in research. REU Sites may be based in a single discipline or academic department, or on interdisciplinary or multi-department research opportunities with a coherent intellectual theme. Proposals with an international dimension are welcome. A partnership with the Department of Defense supports REU Sites in DoD-relevant research areas. (2)
