Winter

The Joint Mathematics Meetings in January

a) NAM's Annual National Meeting.

b) The Granville-Brown-Haynes Session of Presentations by Recent Doctoral Recipients addresses Students, Professional Development, and Scholarly Productivity.

c) The Annual NAM Banquet.

d) The Cox Talbot Address at the Annual NAM Banquet addresses current issues in Mathematics Education and Public Policy.

e) The NAM Panel addresses current issues in the mathematical sciences/ mathematics education/ public policy.

f) The Woodward-Claytor Invited Lecture addresses Scholarly Productivity.

Spring

a) NAM's Regional Faculty Conference on Research and Teaching Excellence is designed to address Scholarly Productivity, Professional Development and Mathematics Education.  Short courses and presentations given by participants from the region.

b) The Bharucha-Reid Invited Lecture at the Regional Faculty Conference gives a prominent mathematical sciences researcher and opportunity to make a presentation.

Summer

a) NAM's Summer Institute in Computational Science is designed to present a more expanded and concentrated approach to Computational Science - Scientific Visualization.  This institute works with selected students (usually 12) and a few faculty (usually 3 faculty mentors), while the Regional Conferences engage only faculty.  The Institute addresses Mathematics Education, Scholarly Productivity and Students.

b) The David Blackwell Invited Lecture at the Joint Summer Mathematics Meetings (MAA MATHFest) provides and opportunity for an under-represented minority mathematician to give a scholarly presentation at a prime time with no opposing scheduled activity.

c) The Annual Conference for African American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS) promotes Professional Development Scholarly Productivity and Students (Doctoral, Post-Doctoral). NAM supports, gives presentations and encourages attendance to this conference.

Fall

a) NAM's Undergraduate MATHFest Conference is held annually to encourage students to pursue advanced degrees in mathematics and mathematics education. The major goal of this conference is to encourage promising students to continue the study of mathematics at the graduate level through the master and doctoral degrees.  A secondary goal is to stimulate Scholarly Productivity in students and Scholarly Productivity and Professional Development for faculty and mathematicians outside of academia.

b) The J. Ernest Wilkins Lecture at NAM's MATHFest features a prominent mathematical scientist.
