This Math Monday, we’re celebrating Native American Heritage Month with profiles of three amazing Indigenous mathematicians that you can bring into your classroom. Plus - enough profiles to run a Mathematician of the Week for the whole school year!
Kyle Dahlin researches mathematical biology as a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Georgia. He earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from Purdue University in 2020.
Read his profile “Honeycreepers and Mosquitos: Hawaiian Researcher Kyle Dahlin” from Indigenous Mathematicians.
Possible Discussion Questions:
Mary Golda Ross was the first known Native American woman engineer. She made significant contributions to aerospace design, including working on Lockheed’s famous Skunk Works project and NASA’s Planetary Flight Handbook.
