Dear Macauly2 community members,
I'm writing on behalf of my undergraduate student Abram Miller, who is conducting a survey to better understand the state of research software engineering for mathematics, that is, the engineering of software that powers contemporary research in mathematics. This survey would be quite incomplete without the perspective of the Macauly2 community, so I appreciate anyone who has 10-15 minutes to share their experiences with us.
Full invitation is below; please feel free to email me at <
scl...@southalabama.edu> if you have any questions.

Dear Participant,
You are invited to participate as a volunteer in a research study on the state of research
software engineering in mathematics.
This is an anonymous survey that will take around 10-15 minutes to complete.
Demographic information will be recorded, but no personally identifying information
will be collected.
Participation in this study is greatly appreciated. Data from this study will help the
investigators better understand how mathematicians can be most effective in using and
developing research software.
All provided information is for research purposes only. Withdrawal from the study has
no consequences; data from your survey is anonymous, will only be collected upon
confirmation of completion of the survey, and will only be made available publicly in the
aggregate. Contact
scl...@southalabama.edu or the Institutional Review Board at the
University of South Alabama at
(251) 460-6308 if you have questions about your rights
as a research subject.
If you are a willing participant in the study, you may click the link to the survey below to
read and agree to the informed consent before starting the survey. Again, your
participation is invaluable and we thank you for your input.
