Here is your quiz for today: Name five women who have won major prizes for their mathematics research. Having trouble? That's not surprising. A recent study [1] by the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) shows that, in most scientific disciplines , the number of women receiving prizes for research is not consistent with the representation of women in the research community. There are multiple plausible explanations for this imbalance, and a variety of approaches have been proposed for addressing the issue. Clearly, one key strategy is to increase the pool of women considered for such prizes. The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is pleased to announce a new series of research prizes. These prizes will focus on women at the beginning stages of their careers. Early-career prizes (such as the AMS Centennial Fellowship) can significantly affect the career trajectory of recipients. Receiving such a prize may lead to promotions , job offers, speaking invitations, and new collaborations. In addition, prizes beget prizes. Highlighting outstanding work by young women increases their chances of being nominated for major prizes in the future. Thus, the new AWM prizes will serve both to celebrate the increasing contributions of women to mathematical research and to identify potential nominees for future prizes. The prize recipients will also provide inspiring role models for the next generation of women mathematicians. The goal of this initiative is to institute four new research prizes. They will be organized by field, with four broadly defined areas: analysis, algebra/number theory, geometry/topology, and applied mathematics. Two of the four prizes will be awarded each year, with each topic appearing in alternate years. The awards will be aimed at early-career women, generally pretenure or within ten years of receiving their Ph.D. The first two of these prizes, the AWM-Sadosky Research Prize in Analysis and the AWM-Microsoft Research Prize in Algebra and Number Theory, have been funded, and the inaugural awards for these two prizes will take place at the Joint Mathematics was president of AWM from 1993 to 1995 and a long-time faculty member at Howard University. Born in Argentina in 1940, she received her doctoral degree in mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1965 and wrote over fifty papers in harmonic analysis and operator theory. A strong advocate for women in mathematics and active in promoting the greater participation of African-Americans in mathematics , Sadosky served as a member of …
