Welcome to Math Minds, the Minority Scientists Network page for professional mathematicians and mathematics students.
From Pythagoras of Samos (569 B.C.) and Hypatia of Alexandria (370 A.D.) to Sir Isaac Newton (1643) and Stephen William Hawking (1942), the discipline of mathematics has always played an integral part in man's quest for knowledge. Some experts believe mathematics is the universal language, making communication with intelligent extraterrestrial beings possible (if they exist!). If you are interested in becoming a mathematician, having a strong mathematics background is only the beginning. As our featured professionals can attest having other skills such as writing and communication are important.
We hope the links to mathematical societies, funding opportunities, and math-related articles in FYI will provide support for your mathematics career. Regardless of the type of mathematics you pursue [history and general, foundation, combinatorics, probability and statistics, number theory and abstract algebra, geometry and topology, analysis (real, functional complex, numerical, differential equations) or application (physics and other sciences)], stay the course and invest the time and effort. The rewards will be worth it.
