Description
The Sonia Kovalevsky Lectures, jointly organized by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), honor women making significant contributions to applied or computational mathematics. Each year, a distinguished mathematician is selected to deliver a plenary lecture at the SIAM Annual Meeting, celebrating both their scientific achievements and the broader impact of women in the mathematical sciences. The award is named after Sonia Kovalevsky, a pioneering mathematician renowned for her work in differential equations, and aims to inspire future generations.
