Updated Forty-Ninth Math Webinar in English

The Panamanian Foundation for the Promotion of Mathematics (FUNDAPROMAT) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) welcome you to join our Forty-Ninth Math Webinar in English, which will take place on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025 at 5 pm Panama time, 6 pm EDT. This Webinar is free and open to the general public, which means that kids and adults of all ages are welcome to attend.

 In this Math Webinar in English, our invited speaker Jenna Carpenter, Founding Dean and Professor of Engineering at Campbell University and President of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), will be presenting on " Top Secret - Women’s Contributions to the History of Computing". Did you know that the first “computers” were humans, not machines? Did you know that these “computers” were women, not men? Did you know that these women were in their late teens and early 20’s – not PhD’s? Come learn about the central role that women and mathematics played in the early development of computing, including the significant contributions of a group of young women, called the “Top Secret Rosies”, during the transition to the computer era in World War II.
