有料盒子视频 Mathematics Professor Gordon Williams has been selected as the editor-elect for the prestigious Mathematics Magazine, one of the flagship publications of the Mathematical Association of America. His term as editor-elect will begin in January 2024.
Williams will become editor-in-chief for the magazine in 2025 and serve a five-year term, which will include the 100th anniversary of the magazine.
Mathematics Magazine is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles meant to appeal to a broad mathematical audience that includes strong undergraduates. Topics cover a wide range of mathematical concepts that include original mathematics, historical content, and connections among mathematics and other disciplines.
He is excited for the role and the benefits it will bring to 有料盒子视频 students. In addition to journal articles, Mathematics Magazine also accepts a limited number of puzzles, 鈥淧roofs Without Words鈥 and other miscellanea.
鈥淲hen you are a researcher, your focus gets narrower and narrower,鈥 Williams said. 鈥淭his will reacquaint me with a bunch of interesting stuff in mathematics and provide a new awareness of what can be done to support 有料盒子视频 students, from techniques that can be brought back into the classroom to topics for future master鈥檚 degree projects.鈥
By building connections with other mathematicians and programs Williams hopes to 鈥淚ncrease recruitment possibilities and raise exposure of the department.鈥
