Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Lisa Mantini is an American mathematician.

Education

Mantini earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Master of Arts and PhD from Harvard University. All these degrees were in mathematics.

Teaching

Mantini taught at Wellesley College prior to 1985. In 1985 she began to teach at Oklahoma State University. Among other awards (see below), in 1995 she received a Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award, the highest teaching honor bestowed by the Mathematical Association of America. In 1998 she gave the undergraduate lecture course, "Representations of Finite Symmetry Groups", for the Mentoring Program for Women in Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

Mathematical Association of America Governor

Mantini served the Oklahoma-Arkansas Section of the Mathematical Association of America as Governor from 2002 to 2005 and from 2014 to 2017. This made her the first person to serve the Oklahoma-Arkansas Section of the Mathematical Association of America as Governor for two terms.
