Scope and content
File contents include records relating to Professor Davis’ attendance at various mathematical conferences, workshops, symposia, and other mathematical events, often as an invited speaker. Material includes correspondence, conference programmes, drafts and speaking notes, research, mathematical calculations, and notes. Presentation topics include functional analysis, operator theory, linear algebra, and ethnomathematics. Elements of these files also reflect Davis’ interest in professional ethics, gender-equity human rights, and activities relating to relations between Palestinian and Israeli mathematicians.

Note
The various mathematical meetings often included opportunities for Human Rights Committee or The Mathematical Intelligencer work, which is occasionally documented in this series, but more fully in Series 5.2: American Mathematical Society (AMS) Committee on Human Rights of Mathematicians (where possible this has been added to the file title by the archivist) or Sub-series 4.2: The Mathematical Intelligencer.
