There’s even a song for the conference, titled ‘‘((3 + 1) 9 3 + 1) 9 3 + 1 Anniversary in Mathematics: How of the AWM’’ and sung (robustly!) to the tune of ‘‘This Land is Your Land’’ [ICERM 2011].

    Geomathematics in Hungarian Geology

    JOURNAL OF HUNGARIAN GEOMATHEMATICS Volume 1 Geomathematics in Hungarian Geology George Bárdossy1 1Hungarian Academy of Sciences ([email protected]) Abstract The application of mathematical methods has a long tradition in Hungary. The main bases of geomathematics are the universities of the country, more closely the departments related to geology, such as general geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, structural geology, mineralogy, pet-rography, geochemistry, hydrogeology and applied geology. The Hungarian Geological Survey, the Geological Institute of Hungary and the Geochemical Research Laboratory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences are institutions where geomathematical methods found broad applications. Finally, some mining and exploration companies, like the Hungarian Oil Company (MOL), the Bakony Bauxite Mining Company and others are regularly using geomathematical methods, mainly for the evaluation of exploration results, for deposit and reservoir modelling and for the estimation of resources.

What is the Geometric Langlands Conjecture about? How could you best exploit a stream of data flowing by too fast to capture? I think we mathematicians are provoked to ask such questions by our sense that underneath the vastness of mathematics is a fundamental unity allowing us to look into many different corners -- though we couldn't possibly work in all of them. I love the idea of having an expert explain such things to me in a brief, accessible way. And I, like most of us, love common-room gossip.

    Interviewed by T. Christine Stevens)

    KENNETH A. ROSS JANUARY 8, 2011 AND JANUARY 5, 2012 (Interviewed by T. Christine Stevens) How did you get involved in the MAA? As a good citizen of the mathematical community, I was a member of MAA from the beginning of my career. But I worked in an “AMS culture,” so I wasn’t actively involved in the MAA. As of January, 1983, I had never served on an MAA committee. But I had been Associate Secretary of the AMS from 1971 to 1981, and thus Len Gillman (who was MAA Treasurer at the time) asked me to be MAA Secretary. There was a strong contrast between the cultures of the AMS and the MAA, and my first two years were very hard. Did you receive mentoring in the MAA at the early stages of your career? From whom? As a graduate student at the University of Washington, I hadn’t even been aware that the department chairman, Carl Allendoerfer, was serving at the time as MAA President. My first mentor in the MAA was Len Gillman, who got me involved with the MAA. Being Secretary and Treasurer, respectively, we consulted a lot, and he was the one who helped me learn the MAA culture. One confession: At that time, approvals for new unbudgeted expenses under $500 were handled by the Secretary, the Treasurer and the Executive Director, Al Wilcox. The requests usually came to me first. Since Len was consistently tough, and Al was a push-over, I would first ask the one whose answer would agree with mine, and then with a 2-0 vote, I didn’t have to even bother the other one.

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.
