Math Resources for Students
Check out math resources for undergrads, as well as student sites at the AMS and MAA.
If you are interested in teaching in high-needs secondary schools, consider one of the
Noyce Science Teaching Fellowship Programs. Find more information here and If you have questions, just e-mail me.
Although we are not recruiting for the Tufts Noyce program, Our M.A.T. program is excellent. There are Noyce programs all over the country, and here is information.
This fun new web site, www.WhyDoMath.org, describes fun mathematics (including my field, tomography) and what mathematicians do.
Reasons to major in math: (Check out this University of Georgia site) It’s fun!
Here's the math awareness month web site.
Mathematical Societies (which have general information about math as well as info about meetings, books and journals, etc.):
American Mathematical Society (AMS) Homepage
Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Homepage

General advice and support for graduate school and beyond
Here are two good books (1 and 2) with tips for survival in grad school and beyond.
Here is a good article about how to get into math graduate school (despite what it says, if you haven't published, it is OK, although research experience is important!).
If you'd like suggestions about mentoring and research development for grad. students and beyond, check here.
The Math. Association of America has a teaching support program for new college and university profs, Project NEXT.
The Mathematical Research Communities is a research support program for recent Ph.D.'s. It provides summer conferences in a range of fields and then provides longer term mentoring and support. I was involved with the 2009 Inverse Problems conference, and it was a blast!
Some Free and legal math books are here.
Math Careers
Here's a good reason to consider a math career if you like math (mathematician is always rated one of the most satisfying careers).
General information about careers:
Tufts Career Center
General information about math careers:
This cool web site, weusemath.org , from BYU, shows what people use math for and discusses careers.
American Math Society's career info.
MAA Career Information and Career Profiles

K-12 Teaching
Teacher training programs
Tufts has received $2.1 million from the Noyce/NSF Scholarship Program to
support students to teach middle- and high-school math and science. Click here for info!! If you have questions, just e-mail me.
Although we do not have new Noyce openings, the Tufts MAT program is excellent.
Here's info on the Noyce program and other Noyce sites.
Tufts Education Department has an "easy" admission program for MAT students from Tufts, and it is a vibrant place with several faculty members who specialize in mathematics education.
