The Mathematics Department and its Graduate Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics will host the Sonia Kovalevsky Day.

This event is open to all area middle school students, grades 6-8, and is free — including lunch. The goal for this event is to increase girls’ interest in mathematics, assist them in the transition to high school math and encourage their pursuit of STEM disciplines. The event is open to all genders.

Kovalevsky was a 19th-century mathematician, advocate of women’s rights and pioneer for female mathematicians around the world.
