This groundbreaking work explores the powerful
role of communities in mathematics. It introduces readers to
twenty-six different mathematical communities and addresses important
questions about how they form, how they thrive, and how they advance
individuals and the group as a whole. The chapters celebrate how
diversity and sameness bind colleagues together, showing how
geography, gender, or graph theory can create spaces for colleagues to
establish connections in the discipline. They celebrate outcomes
measured by mathematical results and by increased interest in studying
mathematics. They highlight the value of relationships with peers and
colleagues at various stages of their careers.
Together, these stories offer a guide—rather than a
template—for building and sustaining a mathematical
community. They call attention to critical strategies of rotating
leadership and regular assessment and evaluation of goals and
programs, and promote an ongoing awareness of the responsibilities of
life that impinge on mathematical creativity and contributions.
Whether you are giving thought to starting a group, joining one
already in existence, or encouraging a colleague to participate in the
broader mathematical community, this book will meet you where you
are—and move you beyond. It contains a plethora of ideas to foster a
sense of belonging in the exciting discipline of
mathematics.
