Rebel Women of Mathematics
Natural Science/Math | Registration opens 1/5/2026 12:00 AM MST (Arizona)
Famous mathematicians are not usually household names, and famous female mathematicians, even less so. For centuries women were made to believe, either implicitly or explicitly, that women couldn’t/shouldn’t do math. In celebration of Women’s History Month, come hear the stories of some women in the last 2000 years who rebelled against that edict and went on to become highly successful mathematicians. Some related activities may be interspersed as well.
