Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the Fourth Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences held at the Center for Research on Parallel Computation at Rice University (Houston). The included talks and poster presentations offer a broad perspective to the critical issues involving minority participation in mathematics. The issues explored are relevant not only to African American researchers, but also to the mathematical community in general. This volume is the second published by the AMS (see DIMACS series, volume 34) presenting expository and research papers by distinguished African American mathematicians. In addition to filling the existing gap on African American contributions to mathematics, this book provides leadership direction and role models for students.

The proceedings of the June 1998 conference consists of eight research talks, two poster presentations, and three historical articles. Among the research talks are finite sums and products in Ramsey theory, computing an exact solution in interior-point methods for linear programming, and the Sendov conjecture for polynomials with real critical points.
