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 15) 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.Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences Staff is the author of 'African-Americans in Mathematics 2 4th Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciencejune 16-19, 1998, Rice University, Houston, Texas' with ISBN 9780821811955 and ISBN 0821811959.
