Math Department to host Sonia Kovalevsky Day, Saturday April 27, 2024
March 18, 2024
We are happy to host our annual Sonia Kovalevsky Day on Saturday, April 27, 2024. SK Day is a fun-filled day of mathematics with hands-on workshops and talks for middle and high school female students and their teachers. Originally started and funded by the Association for Women in Mathematics, the purpose of the day is to encourage young women to continue their study of mathematics and to assist the teachers of female mathematics students. The Dartmouth Math Department hosts this event annually with the goal of inspiring young students to pursue degrees in the mathematical sciences and to honor female mathematicians such as Sonia Kovalevsky, who paved the way with her groundbreaking work and was a strong proponent of higher education for women. We are delighted to hold this empowering event in person once again. Join us for a day of networking, mentoring, and fun!
