Merkin Center on the campus of Caltech in Pasadena, CA.   AIM’s first event in Africa In partnership with Maseno University, AIM ran the workshop Open source mathematics curriculum and assessment tools in Kisumu, Kenya, August 5-9, 2024. This workshop focused on strengthening the impact of open educational technologies on learning mathematics across the curriculum. The gathering emphasized turning contextual challenges into opportunities, across multiple academic levels, at a broad spectrum of institutions and on multiple continents. Participants included practising mathematicians, teachers, mathematics education researchers, and experts in the creation, development, and implementation of open educational technologies. Activities were aimed at creating high-impact cross-institutional and international collaborations.

The award will be given at the Joint Mathematics Meetings Awards Celebration, to be held from 4:45 p.m.-5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, January 8, 2025 in Seattle. Dmitriy Bilyk will deliver the AIM Alexanderson Award Lecture at the JMM on Thursday, January 9 from 10:50 a.m.-11:55 a.m.   Math Fair for AIM’s 30th Birthday Celebration On Saturday, June 29, 2024, an estimated 700 students, friends, parents, and kids of all ages joined the AIM staff, trustees, board members, and volunteers for a day of mathematical fun, games, puzzles, prizes, and treats. The event was free and open to the public. Along with the twenty or so math games and activities there was a face painting booth, snow cones, and ice cream bars. There was also a taco truck that did a brisk lunch business. The support of the Caltech community was terrific and helped make the day a great success.   Congratulations to Rina Foygel Barber! On October 4, 2023, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation announced the 2023 MacArthur Fellows. Among this distinguished group is Rina Foygel Barber, Professor of Statistics at the University of Chicago and a member of AIM’s Scientific Research Board. Rina was also the organizer of an AIM SQuaRE. For a brief description of her work see the MacArthur Foundation announcement. AIM has moved to Pasadena! After more than two decades in the Bay Area, AIM has moved to its new home on the Caltech campus in Pasadena. On July 10, 2023, AIM began operating in the new Richard Merkin Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics, a research center and conference space that has been established in connection with AIM’s move to Caltech, with support from Richard N. Merkin and the Merkin Family Foundation. More information can be found under Visitors in the main menu above and also in the original announcement of the new AIM-Caltech partnership. Math activities for students, teachers, families — just about everyone! AIM’s Math Communities website has a new calendar of upcoming math activities you can take part in. Math that feels good Creating learning resources for blind students Martha Siegel, Professor Emerita from Towson University in Maryland, was working with a blind student who needed a statistics textbook for a required course. The Braille version of the textbook required six months to prepare, a delay which caused the student a significant delay in her studies. Siegel reached out to Al Maneki, a retired NSA mathematician who is blind, and the two of them decided to do something about it. Focusing on math textbooks initially, Siegel and Maneki pulled together a collaborative team intent on solving the problem. “We were shocked to realize there did not already exist an automated method for producing mathematics Braille textbooks,” said Alexei Kolesnikov, a colleague of Siegel at Towson University and member of the team.

AIM’s partnership with the JMM will primarily highlight three initiatives: the Alexanderson Award and Lecture, the Math Circle Network, and the Open Textbook Initiative. More detail is available in the AMS News. Perspectives on the Riemann Hypothesis Held at the Heilbronn Institute, University of Bristol, in the summer of 2018, this was the fourth in a series of meetings devoted to progress on the Riemann Hypothesis. Read more… A Brief History of AIM Established in 1994 by businessman and math enthusiast John Fry, the American Institute of Mathematics is now located in Pasadena, California, on the Caltech campus. Originally located in Palo Alto, AIM moved to San Jose in 2015 and then to Pasadena in 2023. AIM's mission is to advance mathematical knowledge through collaboration, to broaden participation in the mathematical endeavor, and to increase awareness of the contributions of the mathematical sciences to society. Since 2002 AIM has been part of the Mathematical Sciences Institutes program in the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Read more... AIM receives major funding from the National Science Foundation and the Fry Foundation. AIM is one of the NSF Mathematical Sciences Institutes.enusen-US1731615301https://aimath.org
