Sonia Kovalevsky Day
An annual outreach program to encourage young women to explore mathematics-related careers. The event offers mathematics activities for young women via hands-on workshops and a career panel for question & answer. Sponsored by the department and other AUM offices. The Sonia Kovalevsky Mathematics High School Day is an annual program of mathematics activities for young women. Sponsored by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and Auburn University at Montgomery’s Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, it is named in honor of Sonia Kovalevsky, who was the first woman to earn a doctorate in mathematics in 1874. The event is designed to encourage high school-aged women to consider careers in mathematics and the sciences. Sonia Kovalevsky Days have been organized by AWM and institutions around the country since 1985. It is generally held at AUM during the latter half of February or early March.
High school teachers from throughout Alabama are invited to bring their female students to Montgomery to meet the AUM mathematics faculty, professional women who use math in their careers, and other high school students who are interested in math. Event workshops focus on inspiring participants to continue their study of mathematics and lead to careers in mathematics and sciences.
All participants receive books and prizes. A pizza lunch is provided.
