As all of the hussle and bussle for the fall semester is coming to a close (we are in November already?) mathematicians around the globe can begin to really look forward to this year's Joint Meetings to be held in San Antonio, TX.

On top of other sessions I am sure you are excited to attend, don't forget to go to the Young Mathematicians' Network sessions that are tailored specifically for mathematicians just like you (yes, you).

There's an interesting opportunity for young PhDs to get some mentoring before heading off to teach at non-doctoral granting institutions. There's also a component for undergrads bridging into grad school.

Grading AP calculus exams for fun and profit Career

By kroth
Posted Thu Jun 10, 2004 at 08:28:59 AM PDT
Grading AP calculus exams was suggested to me by someone at Mathfest last summer as a quick way to make some money for the summer without having to summer teach.
