Advances in Mathematical Sciences

This volume highlights the mathematical research presented at the 2019 Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Research Symposium held at Rice University, April 6-7, 2019. The symposium showcased research from women across the mathematical sciences working in academia, government, and industry, as well as featured women across the career spectrum: undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and professionals. 

The book is divided into eight parts, opening with a plenary talk and followed by a combination of research paper contributions and survey papers in the different areas of mathematics represented at the symposium: 

• algebraic combinatorics and graph theory 
• algebraic biology
• commutative algebra
• analysis, probability, and PDEs
• topology
• applied mathematics
• mathematics education
