About Us
The
Distinguished Women in Mathematics Lecture Series seeks to foster the
growth and development of the members of the mathematics community at the
University of Texas at Austin through exposure to outstanding women
mathematicians.
This
series was established in the fall of 2007 and brings four leading
women mathematicians to campus every year. Initial support was provided
by Karen Uhlenbeck's chair funds and by the department's lecture funds.
This program is run entirely by graduate students and continues to be
generously supported by Professors Karen
Uhlenbeck and William Beckner. We are in our fourth semester and
are experiencing great success! This has been particularly
exciting opportunity for the women graduate students of the
department.
