Indiana Section of the Mathematical Association of America
Distinguished Service Award
Citation to
Mohammad K. Azarian
In 1993 the Indiana Section of the Mathematical Association of America initiated the Indiana Section Distinguished Service Award. This award honors a member of the Section by acknowledging his or her extraordinary contributions to the Section and outstanding efforts consistent with the stated purposes of the Mathematical Association of America and the Indiana Section, namely, promoting the interests of, and in improving education in, the mathematical sciences in America, especially at the collegiate level.
Among many deserving Section members is the one that we honor this evening. He has been a committed member of his department, the Section and the mathematical community in general. He has served on the executive board of the Section and has been the Student Activities Coordinator for multiple terms. This entails the onerous organizing and running of the Indiana Collegiate Mathematics Competition.
The individual that I am speaking of is Mohammad Azarian. Mohammad has served his department as an excellent classroom teacher, student advisor, faculty advisor for the Kappa Mu Epsilon honor society, and committee member of numerous department and university committees. He is the author of many articles and has given presentations at meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and American Mathematical Society. He serves on the editorial board of two journals and is a referee for four others.
Congratulations to Mohammad Azarian, this year's Indiana Section of the Mathematical Association of America Distinguished Service Award winner.
