With support from National Science Foundation Grant #DMS-1108916, the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) will hold a two-day meeting, 40 Years and Counting: AWM's Celebration of Women in Mathematics at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, September 17-18, 2011. The principal investigators on this grant are the organizers of the meeting, Georgia Benkart, Kristin Lauter, and Jill Pipher.Since 1971, the Association for Women in Mathematics has been at the forefront of efforts to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences. The meeting 40 Years and Counting: AWM's Celebration of Women in Mathematics, which will be open to the public, celebrates the 40th anniversary of the organization, its accomplishments in promoting women in mathematics, and the many significant contributions of women in mathematics over the last forty years. There will be four plenary lectures by distinguished women in pure and applied mathematics, over 15 special sessions on a wide range of topics in the mathematical sciences, poster sessions for recent PhD recipients and graduate students, a panel, a banquet, and time for mentoring and discussion. This event comes at a critical time when the percentage of women among the first-year graduate students in mathematics has declined from 35% in 2001 to 29% in 2009. Many early-career female mathematicians, especially those at smaller schools, and also many graduate students, often have little or no contact with leading women researchers, with the exception of a few in their own research area. The long-term benefits of the meeting will be a heightened awareness of the accomplishments of female mathematicians, an increase in the participation of women in research activities, an expanded research network of potential collaborators, and visibility and connectivity for younger researchers.

在国家科学基金会资助#DMS-1108916的支持下，妇女数学协会（AWM）将于2011年9月17日至18日在罗得岛普罗维登斯的布朗大学举行为期两天的会议，40年和计数：AWM的妇女数学庆祝活动。 该补助金的主要研究人员是会议的组织者，格鲁吉亚本卡特，克里斯汀劳特和吉尔Pipher.自1971年以来，妇女在数学协会一直在努力鼓励妇女和女孩学习和积极的职业生涯在数学科学的前沿。 会议40年和计数：AWM庆祝妇女在数学，这将是向公众开放，庆祝该组织成立40周年，其成就，促进妇女在数学，以及许多重大贡献的妇女在数学在过去四十年。 将有四个全体会议由杰出的妇女在纯数学和应用数学，超过15个专题会议在广泛的数学科学，海报会议最近的博士学位获得者和研究生，一个小组，一个宴会，和时间进行辅导和讨论。 这一活动是在一个关键时刻举行的，因为数学专业一年级研究生中的女性比例从2001年的35%下降到2009年的29%。 许多职业生涯早期的女性数学家，尤其是那些在较小的学校，也有许多研究生，往往很少或根本没有接触到领先的女性研究人员，除了少数在自己的研究领域。 会议的长期效益将是提高对女性数学家成就的认识，增加妇女参与研究活动，扩大潜在合作者的研究网络，以及年轻研究人员的知名度和联系。
