She laid the groundwork for numerous women, and her legacy endures. A remarkable individual, she advocated for the complete involvement of women in various fields. Alice Schafer (June 18, 1915 - September 27, 2009) was an American mathematician who was one of the founding members of the Association for Women in Mathematics. As a mathematics educator, she championed the full participation of women in mathematics. She was a strong role model for many women and worked to establish support groups for women in mathematics, to eliminate barriers women face in their study of mathematics and participation in the mathematics community, and to provide opportunity and encouragement for women in mathematics.🧮

Schafer was one of the founding members of the Association for Women in Mathematics in 1971 and she was elected as the second President serving from 1973-75. In 1990 the Association for Women in Mathematics established the Alice T Schafer Mathematics Prize in her honour.

Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Memorial Day is observed with the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, and by religious services, parades, and speeches nationwide. Flags, insignia, and flowers are placed on the graves of veterans in local cemeteries. There are also parades and ceremonies. In addition, Memorial Day is considered the start of summer with barbecues and picnics.

Memorial Day, in the United States, holiday (last Monday in May) honoring those who have died while serving in the country’s armed forces. It originated during the American Civil War when citizens placed flowers on the graves of those who had been killed in battle. The first national observance was in 1868. After World War I, the name was changed from Decoration Day to Memorial Day, and in 1971 it became a federal holiday. The day is observed by visits to cemeteries, where flags and other items are placed on the graves of veterans.
