Welcome to the Young Mathematicians Network. We are an association of mathematicians and math enthusiasts including:
- High school students,
- College undergraduates,
- Graduate students,
- Post docs,
- Junior faculty, and
- Other young professionals
Our group aims to address issues facing these groups and provide assistance through:

- Seminars, presentations and panels at national conferences including the Joint Mathematics Meeting and Math Fest, and
- Other programming and events coordinated by our membership

Is there a linkedin group?
We do have a https://www.facebook.com/groups/64483305086/.
Our editorial board had decided to form a facebook group, as it was the most commonly used social networking site. Few of our members are on LinkedIn, although we are open to the possibility of forming a linkedin group in the future.
Mark,
There is currently no linkedin group. If we create one, we will post the information on this site.
Thank you,
Kristine Roinestad (Associate Editor)
Here is an interesting article titled “Why Do Americans Stink at Math?”
BY ELIZABETH GREEN
The Common Core should finally improve math education. The problem is that no one has taught the teachers how to teach it.
I would like to join YMN because I can see it is interesting to me
