Piney
Woods Lecture Series
Sponsored
by the MAA and the Tensor Foundation
The Piney Woods Lecture Series
seeks to invite well-known female mathematicians to the SHSU campus to
speak, and therefore provides SHSU graduate and undergraduate students
exposure to well-known female mathematicians in a variety of research
areas approximately five times per year. The speakers are invited to
campus, and asked to present an hour long talk accessible to
undergraduate and graduate students. After the presentation,
students have a chance to interact with the speaker during a social
event; and several nominated students are invited to attend a private
dinner with the speaker, giving them a further opportunity to interact
with the speaker, ask questions, and discuss issues of interest to
women in mathematics.
