Teaching

Mantini taught at Wellesley College prior to 1985. In 1985 she began to teach at Oklahoma State University. [1] Among other awards (see below), in 1995 she received a Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award, the highest teaching honor bestowed by the Mathematical Association of America. [4] [5] In 1998 she gave the undergraduate lecture course, "Representations of Finite Symmetry Groups", for the Mentoring Program for Women in Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. [6]

Mathematical Association of America Governor

Mantini served the Oklahoma-Arkansas Section of the Mathematical Association of America as Governor from 2002 to 2005 and from 2014 to 2017. This made her the first person to serve the Oklahoma-Arkansas Section of the Mathematical Association of America as Governor for two terms. [1]
