Contact NAM The National Association of Mathematicians ( NAM ), a non-profit professional organization, has always had as its main objectives, the promotion of excellence in the mathematical sciences and the promotion of the mathematical development of underrepresented American minorities. It also aims to address the issue of the serious under-representation of minorities in the workforce of mathematical scientists. The organization achieves its goals by focusing on five areas: Although the majority of members consist of members of under-represented groups of American minorities, a significant number of members represent a cross-section of the mathematical sciences community.

African american chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians presentation of the specified African american mathematician you chose.
http://www.luxcasco.k12.wi.us/htdocs_oldsite/teacwebq/mathwebq.htm

Extractions: Introduction We have been discussing the contributions of famous mathematicians who have made great contributions in the way we use mathematics today. Many of the mathematicians who have been profiled in our text have been men. However, there have been many women and minorities who have contributed to the progress mathematics has made over the centuries. African American chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have contributed in both large and small ways that can be overlooked when chronicling the history of science. By describing the scientific history of selected African American men and women we can see how the efforts of individuals have advanced human understanding in the world around us. The Task At the end of the project you should have completed a Power Point presentation of the specified African American mathematician you chose. Use a computer in the math lab or library to produce your presentation. Some time will be allocated during class to use the lab to work on your presentation. Your presentation should contain pictures of the person, co-workers, pictures of their contributions to mathematics, and any other pertinent diagrams.

Extractions: Notices of the American Mathematical Society, Vol 40, No 2, p. 152, Feb. 1993. Reviewed by Roger Pinkham* Since the early 1950s I have used computers to assist in the doing of mathematics. With the passage of time I have seen computers and computing simulate mathematics. New contexts have suggested new problems and new avenues of solutions for old problems. By the late 1970s it was clear that computing should provide enhancement not only of the research process but everyday teaching. Riemann's theorem that a conditionally convergent series can be rearranged to converge to any specified sum is a wonderful example (classroom or homework) of what was here-to-fore impossible. Since the series converges, the individual terms tend to zero, but the series of positive terms diverges to infinity; the series of negative terms to minus infinity. If the desired sum is s, take just enough terms from the series of positive terms to add to no less than s, then take just enough negative terms to come to no more than s, repeat. Because the individual terms tend to zero you can get as close to s as desired. To see this on a printout or on a monitor with an overhead screen, or better yet to write the program yourself, is to experience the theorem in a way that one never could by hand, and cements the conceptual argument lastingly in the mind. Why is it that more use is not made of such opportunities in the classroom? I think it is a question of user-machine interfaces. Few indeed are the professional mathematicians willing to learn, say, C++ sufficiently well to confidently provide their students with great computer graphics demonstrations. With all the other burdens, it's just not worth it. Conclusion? The most ingenious piece of software will never be used extensively unless the front end (*user machine interface) is intuitively appealing, adheres religiously to consistent standards, gives genuinely helpful error messages, and anticipates likely mistakes. This means that the most painful time consuming and important part of a piece of potentially useful software is the design and implementation of the front end.

D19 Abstract: Mathematicians at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico are modeling the AIDS epidemic. Staff write Allyn Jackson says, "One of the most surprising aspects of the AIDS epidemic is that, unlike most epidemics, it does not exhibit exponential growth. Rather, the best fit to the data on the number of AIDS cases to date turns out to be a cubic polynomial." One researcher said, "if mathematical models [of AIDS] can give any new insights, it could result in a tremendous saving of lives."

Employers Mathematics Department of Mathematics - http://www.uncw.edu/math Related Career Titles Related Major Skills Related Web Sites Many occupations today require a college educated individual who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information quickly and work well with others on a team. This means that college graduates use their education in a wide variety of fields, and your future career may relate more to your personal career interests, work values and transferable skills than any specific academic major. However, the following list contains a representative sample of job titles of former graduates with a math or computer science major. Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider. Students obtaining employment immediately upon graduation are usually those with the best college records and a willingness to relocate to find a job. Some of these jobs also require education beyond a bachelors' degree.
