The Program for Women and Mathematics is an annual two-week program organized at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), co-sponsored by Princeton University. The program takes place each spring and is organized by senior women in mathematics; it centers around a mathematical theme that changes from year-to-year. The participants span different levels; they include undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and senior women. The goals of the program are to enhance the mathematics education of talented women mathematicians through a rigorous and intense academic program, and to retain these women in the field by providing mentoring and by establishing an extensive network of women mathematicians. Program activities include an undergraduate-to-beginning-graduate course in an area related to the research subject of the year, an advanced graduate course, usually divided into two separate short courses, intended to be an introduction to state-of- the-art research in that year's chosen field of mathematics; research seminars in which reports from postdoctoral level participants; problem and review sessions; and women-in-science seminars that include interviews with senior women in the field, panel discussions on topics of interest and organized discussions on subjects which range from how to set up a Noetherian Ring to interviewing for a job.The Program for Women and Mathematics has been running for more than 15 years. It consistently receives rave reviews. The program is not only praised for its intense scientific curriculum, it is also unique in representing different mathematical professional paths and different stages in such a path. Participants establish strong professional relationships that far outlast the ten-day academic program. The establishment of a network of women at various levels, who can (and do!) support and mentor one another through difficult transition points, has been a well-cultivated outcome of the program, and is something that expands and becomes stronger as the program continues.

妇女和数学课程是由普林斯顿大学共同赞助的高级研究所(IAS)组织的为期两周的年度课程。这个项目每年春天举行，由数学方面的资深女性组织；它围绕着一个每年都会改变的数学主题。参与者跨越不同的层次；他们包括本科生、研究生、博士后研究员和高级女性。该计划的目标是通过严格和密集的学术计划加强对有才华的女性数学家的数学教育，并通过提供指导和建立广泛的女性数学家网络来留住这些女性在该领域的工作。方案活动包括与年度研究主题相关的领域的本科生到初级研究生课程、研究生高级课程，通常分为两个单独的短期课程，旨在介绍当年选定的数学领域的最新研究；研究研讨会，博士后水平的参与者报告；问题和复习会议；以及女性科学研讨会，包括采访该领域的资深女性，就感兴趣的话题进行小组讨论，并组织讨论，主题从如何建立诺瑟环到面试工作。妇女和数学课程已经运行了15年以上。它一直受到好评。该节目不仅因其紧张的科学课程而备受赞誉，它还在呈现不同的数学专业道路和这样一条道路上的不同阶段方面独树一帜。学员们建立了牢固的职业关系，其持续时间远远超过了为期十天的学术课程。建立各级妇女网络，谁能(并且做到了！)在困难的转折点上相互支持和指导，一直是该计划精心培育的结果，并随着计划的继续而扩大和变得更强大。
