The Math Alliance and Its Roots in the African American Community

摘要

The Math Alliance, a national community of math sciences faculty committed to increasing the number of doctoral degrees awarded in those fields to underrepresented minority students, began in 1995 at the math department at the University of Iowa. In 2016 it moved to the College of Science at Purdue University. Math Alliance Executive Director David Goldberg and Math Alliance Director Phil Kutzko sat down to discuss the history of the Alliance and its relationship to the African American community.
