WOMEN IN MATHEMATICS, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

Women In Mathematics: Welcome

Women In Mathematics is an active group of women in the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University organized in October 2004.  The members of the group are faculty, instructors, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students.

Our activities include monthly meetings for the women in the department, informal discussions of issues facing women in mathematics, panels on specific topics of interest to women in the department, and sponsoring speakers in all seminars in the math department. We welcome anyone interested in coming to our meetings.


WIM and its activities are supported by a generous grant from the Edith Krieger-Wolff Endowment.
