Currently, our stated aim is to serve the community of young mathematicians by:
- maintaining an active online community where young (and aspiring) mathematicians can go to ask questions about all aspects of this discipline;
- sharing new and interesting news about the world of mathematics;
- acting as a forum for undergraduates and graduates to share thing of interest in these unique cultures;
- providing information about career options and job searches from both the inside and the outside (including an honest discussion about the job market and its future);
- serving as a support group for those on the job market as well as those just starting jobs by sharing stories about job searches, joys and trauma of teaching, issue with work and family life, etc;
- desiminating information on publishing, grant proposals, obtaining industry jobs, and other things which many of us did not get
in school;
- sharing new and intresting research news;
- etcetra...
Our previous list of goals for YMN were:
- to keep the mathematical community honest about the job market and its future;
- to provide information about job searches from both the inside and the outside;
- to serve as a support group for those on the job market;
- to provide information on publishing, grant proposals, obtaining industry jobs, and other things which many of us did not get in graduate school; and
- to inform the mathematical community of the interests and concerns of the younger mathematicians.
