Key takeaways
- Focusing on the groundbreaking work of women in mathematics past, present, and future, Springer's Association for Women in Mathematics Series presents the latest research and proceedings of conferences worldwide organized by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).
- The AWM was also honored to host a special session "Research from the 'Cutting EDGE'" at the 2015 conference; all eight speakers in this session attended the EDGE program and have finished or are in the process of finishing their PhDs.
- In addition to the special session and plenary talks, the AWM symposium featured keynote speaker Shirley Malcolm, Head of Education and Human Resources Programs at the American Association for the Advancement of Science and author of "The Double Bind: The Price of Being a Minority Women in Science."
- Each paper from the special session "Research from the 'Cutting EDGE'", as well as a contribution from the "Mathematics at Government Labs and Centers" and the contributions by special session organizers have been placed in a part based on its content.
- Part V, Statistics, consists of three papers based on talks from the "Statistics" special session.
