Since 1991, April has been the month for celebrating mathematics and its applications. This year the theme of the Mathematics Awareness Month (MAM) is The Mathematics of Networks. The Mathematics department at UNO is celebrating this event through a variety of activities including a Problem Solving Contest for Area High School Students on April 1, the Mathematics Symposium: Math Awareness Month at UNO and a Poster Session for Students on April 9, an invited talk on April 22. The schedule of the events can be found at the MAM at UNO web site. We hope you will join us in the celebration of Mathematics!
