Recognition


Grabiner received the Carl B. Allendoerfer Award for the best article in Mathematics Magazine in 1984, 1989, and 1996, and the Lester R. Ford Award in 1984, 1998, 2005, and 2010, for the best article in American Mathematical Monthly.[6][7]


In 2003, Grabiner received one of the Mathematical Association of America's Deborah and Franklin Haimo Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics.[8] She became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.[9] In 2014, she was awarded the Beckenbach Book Prize.[10]
