Careers in mathematics
The MAA(Mathematical
Association of America) has a page for students where you can check out:
- Career
Profiles: a collection of essays about the variety of ways the authors
have used mathematics in their work.
- Job Related Links: lots of employment resources.
- REU's: Links to REU (Research
Experiences for Undergraduates) sites around the country.
- Student Chapters: links to student MAA web pages around the country.
- Competitions: information on math competitions such as the Putnam
Exam.
- Etc.: many other links to items of interest to students.
Ph.D. programs in

Grad School Info Sheet
St. Olaf's own Prof. Paul Humke is the North American director for
the Budapest
Semester in Mathematics. Check out his site for more information on
this fabulous program.
The Carleton/St. Olaf Summer Math Program
for women undergraduates is an NSF/NSA funded program run by faculty of both
colleges. The SMP is designed for sophomore level women who have had at
least linear algebra, and are highly motivated to learn more mathematics
in and intensive but fun setting.
The AMS (American
Mathematical Society) has a site that is most useful for professional mathematicians,
but has some information of interest to students thinking about graduate
school.
- Graduate Schools: a survey of the top Ph.D. granting departments
around the country.
- An article on recent trends in graduate admissions.
- AMS resources for undergraduates.
- Careers in mathematics.
- Fun research projects for students at the high school and
college level.
- Many links to information of interest to mathematicians.
Professional organizations other than the MAA and the AMS are:
