217 C (Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center)
Chairs:
Pamela Harris, PhD, Assistant Professor, United States Military Academy and Shannon Talbott, PhD, Assistant Professor, College of Mount St Joseph

Description: Women’s contributions to mathematics can be traced back to Hypatia of Greece (AD 350–370). These contributions span all types of research areas. The women mathematicians in this session will discuss their recent contributions in areas such as abstract algebra, graph theory, mathematical modeling, and mathematical education.
