Congratulations to the 2026 Fields Medal recipients! Your groundbreaking discoveries are expanding the frontiers of mathematics and inspiring generations of mathematicians. The American Mathematical Society is honored to celebrate your achievements at #ICM2026# in Philadelphia.

If you're passionate about mentoring and expanding pathways into graduate study, consider volunteering as a Graduate Faculty Facilitator with the Math Alliance at the AMS. Graduate Faculty Facilitators mentor Facilitated Graduate Admissions Program (F-GAP) Scholars on their path to graduate school. Facilitators help Scholars prepare strong applications, explore programs, connect with the community, and navigate the transition to graduate study. ➡️ Volunteer to serve as a Graduate Faculty Facilitator:

Part of the Contemporary Mathematics series, Lectures on Tight Closure and Its Applications, this volume consists of edited lecture notes from the online International Graduate course on Tight Closure and Its Applications from the ICTP and School on Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry in Prime Characteristics. The lecture notes also come with exercises and solutions. Access via your institution: Buy the volume: Don’t have access? Ask your library to contact cust-serv@ams.org to subscribe!

Know a student ready to pursue a PhD in math, stats, or quantitative sciences but have questions about how to nominate a student for F-GAP? Check out this video before the 5/22 deadline:

As we mark the 30th anniversary of MathSciNet, we celebrate the work of the staff to ensure accurate author identification and the integrity of the mathematical research record. Read more:

This month, TPSE Math is convening leaders from across the mathematical sciences, higher education, industry, and partner organizations for the 2026 Modernizing Undergraduate Math Summit. The summit will focus on how undergraduate mathematics can better prepare students for an AI-infused, data-rich, and rapidly changing world. Participants will explore principles for modern undergraduate math, scalable course innovations, flexible pathways, quantitative reasoning, and strategies for coordinated national implementation. Special thanks to @Harvard, @HarvardMath for hosting. This is an invite-only working summit, but the work is intended to extend well beyond the room. Follow TPSE Math for summit updates, outcomes, and future opportunities to engage. #UndergraduateMath# #MathEducation# #HigherEd# #AIinEducation# #STEMEducation# #EducationInnovation#

The AMS had a wonderful time participating in the RI STEAM Expo over the weekend. It was so great to talk to teachers, parents, and students. We met so many curious minds and budding mathematicians! Thank you to @RIDeptEd for hosting!
