The third annual Elizabeth S. Meckes Memorial Lecture lecture will be given by Prof. Henry Segerman of Oklahoma State University in spring 2025, date/time and location TBA.
About the lecture
Elizabeth Meckes was a professor of mathematics at Case Western Reserve University from 2007 until her death in 2020. She earned her B.S. and M.S. at Case in 2001 and 2002 and her Ph.D. from Stanford in 2006. Prof. Meckes was a strong proponent of mathematical outreach, and had hoped to one day establish an annual public lecture in mathematics at Case. In her memory, an endowment was established to make her vision a reality.
