Welcome to the Association for Women in Mathematics! The purpose of the
Association for Women in Mathematics is to encourage women and girls to
study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to
promote equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in
the mathematical sciences. Have fun investigating our web pages! - Cathy
Kessel, President of the AWM

High School Test Scores Show No Gender Differences in Math.
By analyzing academic data from 10 states, representing the testing of 7,208,843 youths, Janet Hyde from the Department of
Psychology at the University of Wisconsin and colleagues found that gender differences in math scores were extremely small
among all ethnic groups in grades 2-11.

Report of the IMU/IMS/ICIAM joint Committee on Quantitative Assessment of Research. Citation-based statistics,
such as the impact factor, are often used to assess scientific research, but are they the best measures of research
quality? Three international mathematics organizations have today released a report, Citation Statistics
, on the use of citations in assessing research quality — a topic that is of increasing interest throughout the world's scientific
community.
