Popular Post plansrme Posted November 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) The 2017-18 Schafer Prize, awarded by the Association for Women in Mathematics for Excellence in Mathematics by an Undergraduate Woman goes to. . .. MY KID! She just got the news and is on Cloud Nine. It includes a cash prize and is awarded at the annual Joint Mathematics Meeting in San Diego in January. This is definitely one of the "it's an honor to be nominated" things, as the list of past winners is quite illustrious as far as math geeks go. We never thought she would actually win! The math department at Georgia Tech ROCKS! Edited December 17, 2017 by plansrme 93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Oh wow, just WOW!!! :party: This is a prize I follow every year, and now I can say I "know" the young woman who won it! So very happy for my virtual GT friend and the fabulous math department there. Super exciting!! You know, when she first learned that she was going to be nominated, of course I googled the award and found the bios of the past winners. Reading the bios, you can see the influence the nominees' LORs must have had. That is the only reason I thought she had a chance at, maybe, an honorable mention or runner-up--I knew the GT faculty would step up yet again. My daughter doesn't even know who wrote her LORs--the nominator prepares the entire submission. We really cannot say enough good things about GT math. Thanks, everyone, for rejoicing with me. Math played an important role in our decision to homeschool her in the first place, but I never actually expected it to become her life's passion (because, really--who is passionate about math???). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 The December article about your dd was included in a newsletter my ds received from Tech yesterday. I just read it and all I can say is, "WOW!" Quite amazing! Awww, thanks! She will be the first to tell you that the credit is 10% her and 90% the math faculty at Tech. One of the professors quoted in that article (Dr. Morley) is the one who set up the whole distance calculus program for Tech that let her take Calc II and III as a sophomore, which led to her on-campus DE junior and senior years, including in the class he mentions. Anyway, she read the article and was surprised Dr. Morley even remembered her, much less so positively. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morley just reached out to me last week, and I was super surprised that he remembered me at all from years ago at Tech. That math department is so d**m special! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morley just reached out to me last week, and I was super surprised that he remembered me at all from years ago at Tech. That math department is so d**m special! I am so jealous that you know him! I feel like our family owes a huge debt to all of these professors that I will never meet. I know my daughter does her part, making 'em proud and all that, but I really hope they appreciate the tremendously positive effect they have had on her life. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
