If you are a girl with an interest in mathematics, this event is for you!
Each year, Rose-Hulman professors and math and biomath majors invite high school students to campus to participate in engaging and interactive sessions that focus on applications of mathematics. This event, which is open to all students who are currently in a high school level mathematics class, pays tribute to Sonia Kovalevsky – a pioneer for female mathematicians.
Sonia Kovalevsky Days have been held at colleges and universities throughout the world for over 20 years to encourage young women and others whose gender has typically been underrepresented in STEM to continue their study of mathematics.
This free event is sponsored by the Department of Mathematics and the Rose-Hulman Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).
