Department Tea & Seminar
Tea is every Tuesday 2:45-3:15 and all friends of the department are
welcome to come socialize and eat
with Math/CS/Stats. Every Tuesday immediately following tea is the
department seminar (except for the first Tuesday of each month, at
which time we have our department meeting). Tea is in the Reading Room,
and exact seminar time and
location, as well as speaker and talk abstract, will be announced on posters each week.

Mathematics outside of
the classroom (for students)
The
two main, national professional
associations for mathematicians and the teaching of mathematics are the
American
Mathematical Society (AMS) and the the Mathematical Association
of
America (MAA). Their websites contain lots of
interesting stuff, of all
sorts; check them out.. Computer Science, Statistics, and Applied Math. all have their own professional societies.
Summer
Research Opportunities -- On and Off Campus
Interested
in doing work in the summer related to your MSCS studies? Come see me,
and check out the summer opportunities link at the MSCS website.
Study Abroad
There
are many study
abroad
programs available to Macalester MSCS students. We have great
opportunities for you in the UK, in Turkey, and in Hungary, for
example. Come and talk with me if you are
interested in spending a semester abroad and check out the study
away link at the MSCS website.
Women in Math
There are also many
opportunities for women
in math. The Association
for Women in Mathematics
site serves as a good starting place.
Life After College
There
are many good resources for career and graduate school planning. The
professional societies all offer good material and advice.
You
can also check out this document I wrote for Macalester students.
Professional activity
Primary
math interests are spectral theory of linear operators on Banach
spaces, complex interpolation of linear operators, Banach algebras,
electoral system design and voting theory, the history of mathematics,
and national and international mathematics education.
I am involved with the MAA and the AWM.
I am Editor of the MAA's Anneli Lax New Mathematical Library, and on the editorial board of the MAA's
Math Horizons.
I am honored to be the recipient of the 2007 MAA-NCS
Distinguished Teaching Award, the 2007
Macalester College Excellence in
Teaching Award, and the 1996 John and Samuel Bard Award in
Medicine and Science.

Personal
Even though I have lived in Minnesota since 1989, I still feel I am an east-coaster. I went to Bard College and then moved west
to do my Ph.D. at the University of Oregon. My husband, Peter
Webb,
is a mathematician at the University of Minnesota, and we have three
children, and one cat. Sabbaticals have been spent at the
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, at the EPFL in Lausanne,
Switzerland, and at the University of California, Berkeley. When not
working, I can be found perfecting the art of soccer, music and nordic ski-parenting,
reading, biking, cooking, cross-country skiing myself, or enjoying
music, movies, good food, and/or good wine, or, can't be found, because I am travelling.
