Шаблон:Short description Terrie Christine Stevens, also known as T. Christine Stevens, is an American mathematician whose research concerns topological groups, the history of mathematics, and mathematics education.[1] She is also known as the co-founder of Project NExT, a mentorship program for recent doctorates in mathematics, which she directed from 1994 until 2009.[2][3][4]

Education and career

Stevens graduated from Smith College in 1970,[5] and completed her doctorate in 1978 at Harvard University under the supervision of Andrew M. Gleason. Her dissertation was Weakened Topologies for Lie Groups.[6][7]

She held teaching positions at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, at Mount Holyoke College and at Arkansas State University before joining Saint Louis University, where for 25 years she was a professor of mathematics and computer science.[8][6]

She was also a Congressional Science Fellow assisting congressman Theodore S. Weiss in 1984–1985,[1][5] and was a program officer at the National Science Foundation in 1987–1989.[1] After retiring from SLU, she became Associate Executive Director for Meetings and Professional Services of the American Mathematical Society.[9][6] She also served as an AMS Council member at large from 2011 to 2013.[10]

Recognition

In 2004 Stevens won the Gung and Hu Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics of the Mathematical Association of America for her work on Project NExT.[6][8] In 2010 Stevens was awarded the Smith College Medal by her alma mater.[4][5] She has been a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 2005,[11] and in 2012, she became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[12] She was the 2015 winner of the Louise Hay Award of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[9]
