| All Girls/All Math will offer two different mathematical experiences
for high school girls this summer. The first of these is the All Girls/All
Math Summer Camp. Two sessions will be offered, June 24-29, 2001,
and July 8-13, 2001. Each session will feature weeklong courses in
Chaos and Codes taught by UNL Mathematics & Statistics Department
faculty Drs. Judy Walker and Gwendolyn Hines and UNL alumni Drs. Lisa
Johnson and Krista Taylor. Each session will host an accomplished
mathematician guest speaker who will give an interactive presentation
related to her area of work. There will also be other guest speakers
and fun evening activities. Participants will stay in a campus residence
hall under the supervision of a graduate student. Girls entering grades
10-12 in the fall are invited to apply. Fourteen applicants will be
selected for each session of the camp. The application deadline is
May 1st, 2001.
The second All Girls/All Math experience offered this summer is
a two-day workshop called "It's a Math Thing..." Dates
for "It's a Math Thing..." are August 3-4, 2001. Any female
entering grades 9-12 this fall may attend. The girls will participate
in problem sessions run by UNL graduate students and in special-topics
sessions taught by UNL faculty. There will also be an evening banquet
featuring a panel of guest speakers. The registration deadline for
"It's a Math Thing…" is July 5, 2001.
