Many of you will recall the AWM 40th Anniversary conference held in 2011 at Brown University. The enthusiasm generat- The purpose of the Association ed by that conference gave rise to a plan to hold a series of biennial AWM Research for Women in Mathematics is Symposia around the country. The first of these, the AWM Research Symposium 2013, took place this weekend on the beautiful Santa Clara University campus. • to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers The symposium attracted close to 150 participants. The program included 3 plenary in the mathematical sciences, and talks, 10 special sessions on a wide variety of topics, a contributed paper session, • to promote equal opportunity and poster sessions, a panel, and a banquet. The Santa Clara campus was in full bloom the equal treatment of women and and the weather was spectacular. Thankfully, the poster sessions and coffee breaks girls in the mathematical sciences. were held outside in a courtyard or those of us from more frigid climates might have been tempted to play hooky! The event opened with a plenary talk by Maryam Mirzakhani. Mirzakhani is a professor at Stanford and the recipient of multiple awards including the 2013 Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize. Her talk was entitled “On Random Hyperbolic Manifolds of Large Genus.” She began by describing how to associate a hyperbolic surface to a graph, then proceeded with a fascinating discussion of the metric properties of surfaces associated to random graphs.

    ΠME Journal, Vol. 13, No. 10, pp 577–609, 2014. 577 THE PI MU EPSILON 100TH ANNIVERSARY PROBLEMS: PART II STEVEN J. MILLER∗, JAMES M. ANDREWS†, AND AVERY T. CARR‡ As 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of Pi Mu Epsilon, we thought it would be fun to celebrate with 100 problems related to important mathematics milestones of the past century. The problems and notes below are meant to provide a brief tour through some of the most exciting and influential moments in recent mathematics. No list can be complete, and of course there are far too many items to celebrate. This list must painfully miss many people’s favorites. As the goal is to introduce students to some of the history of mathematics, ac- cessibility counted far more than importance in breaking ties, and thus the list below is populated with many problems that are more recreational. Many others are well known and extensively studied in the literature; however, as our goal is to introduce people to what can be done in and with mathematics, we’ve decided to include many of these as exercises since attacking them is a great way to learn. We have tried to include some background text before each problem framing it, and references for further reading. This has led to a very long document, so for space issues we split it into four parts (based on the congruence of the year modulo 4). That said: Enjoy! 1914 Martin Gardner Few twentieth-century mathematical authors have written on such diverse sub- jects as Martin Gardner (1914–2010), whose books, numbering over seventy, cover not only numerous fields of mathematics but also literature, philosophy, pseudoscience, religion, and magic.

    Representations of Finite Groups

    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 15/2006 Representations of Finite Groups Organised by Alexander S. Kleshchev (Eugene) Markus Linckelmann (Aberdeen) Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern) Jeremy Rickard (Bristol) March 26th – April 1st, 2006 Abstract. The workshop ”Representations of finite groups” was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Aberdeen), G. Malle (Kaiser- slautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20-06 20Cxx. Introduction by the Organisers The meeting was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Ab- erdeen), G. Malle (Kaiserslautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). This meeting was attended by over 50 participants with broad geographic representation. It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. This workshop was sponsored by a project of the Eu- ropean Union which allowed us to invite in addition to established researchers also a couple of young people working on a PhD in representation theory. In eleven longer lectures of 40 minutes each and twentytwo shorter contributions of 30 min- utes each, recent progress in representation theory was presented and interesting new research directions were proposed. Besides the lectures, there was plenty of time for informal discussion between the participants, either continuing ongoing research cooperation or starting new projects. The topics of the talks came roughly from two major areas: on the one hand side, the investigation of representation theoretic properties of general finite groups and related objects, on the other hand the determination and detailed analysis of representations of special classes of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras.

    President's Report

    Volume 39, Number 2 NEWSLETTER March–April 2009 President’s Report Dear Colleagues: On the occasion of its centennial in 1988, the American Mathematical Soci- ety presented AWM with a handsome silver bowl. This bowl has come to symbol- ize the presidency of AWM, and the tradition has evolved that it is passed from the president to the soon-to-be president at the January joint mathematics meetings. I thank Cathy Kessel for handing over the bowl and presidency to me, for her two years of dedication and leadership as president, and for her shining example of how to polish the bowl. Cathy has generously given of her time to answer my many questions and to explain the intricacies of how AWM functions. I am very grateful to be handed this gift of the presidency. IN THIS ISSUE In my year as president-elect, I have come to realize what a truly unique organization AWM is. With just a few staff members (all employed by AWM 10 AWM at the JMM only part time), AWM thrives because of its volunteers. They are its lifeblood; they enable all the programs, awards, and outreach activities to take place. 20 AWM Essay Contest Nowhere has the spirit of volunteerism been more evident than at the recent joint meetings. A committee of volunteers, Elizabeth Allman, Megan Kerr, Magnhild 21 Book Review Lien, and Gail Ratcliff, selected twenty-four recent Ph.D. recipients and gradu- ate students to participate in the AWM workshop. Their task was difficult, as the 25 Education Column new online application process produced a larger than usual number of excellent 27 Math Teachers’ Circles applicants.
