Understanding pi (π) is as easy as counting to one, two, 3.1415926535… As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. In fact, $31.42 is a rounded multiple of pi (π) and a donation of this amount will help AWM fund our annual Pi Day, held on March 14th!

The Association for Women in Mathematics was established in 1971! A donation of $71 will help with the operational costs of our club and also allow us to put on fun and informative events for our members.

Katherine Johnson is an African-American mathematician who mastered complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee. Her contributions were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. manned spaceflights. She has received over 150 awards and her story was depicted in the three-time Oscar-nominated movie Hidden Figures.

The typical cost of a current-edition mathematics textbook at OSU is $220. A donation of this amount covers the cost of one textbook for an AWM member.

In 1935 Emmy Noether was called "the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far" by Albert Einstein. She overcame many hurdles to develop the mathematical foundations for Einstein's general theory of relativity and made significant advances in the field of algebra.

AWM currently has more than 500 members (women and men) representing a broad spectrum of the mathematical community – from the United States and around the world. Not only this, but a donation of $500 will help AWM to fund our Integral Bowl event – it's like a spelling bee, but with integrals!
