For an application (due Feb. 20, 2012) and more information, go to www.math.ias.edu/wam.


Rebecca Burks, Christina Chen, Sarah Herrmann, Elaine Hou, Julia Huang, Danielle Wang, Tiffany Wu and Victoria Xia, members of the United States team at the 2011 China Girls Math Olympiad, all won medals at the competition held July 28 - August 3 in Shenzhen, China. Wang and Xia each won gold medals, while a silver medal was awarded to Huang. The remaining team members each won bronze medals. The tenth annual Olympiad drew 192 girls from countries such as Japan, Russia, the United States, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, and China. For more information and an online travelogue from the team members, visit the website of one of the team's sponsors, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), or read the MSRI press release.

Shijie (Joy) Zheng, a member of the class of 2011 at Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, NH, is the only girl among the twelve winners of the 40th U.S.A. Mathematical Olympiad. The USAMO is a six-question, two-day, nine-hour essay/proof examination with problems requiring pre-calculus methods to be solved. Joy also won the The Wendy Ravech-Akamai Mathematics Scholar Award, presented for the first time at the Mathematical Olympiad Awards Ceremony that took place on June 6 at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. She received a gold medal for the U.S. team at the 2010 China Girls Mathematics Olympiad. For information about the USAMO winners, see the press release from the Mathematical Association of America.

Legacy of Light is an award winning play by playwright Karen Zacarias that features Emilie du Châtelet as one of the characters. The play intertwines the stories of Châtelet and Voltaire with that of a modern day couple where the wife, an astrophysicist, is struggling to balance a yearning for science with the emotional pull towards having a child. Parts of the play describe Chatelet's mathematical interests. Look for a production at a local playhouse.
