AIM becomes a partner in the Joint Mathematics Meetings

Along with 13 other mathematics organizations AIM has become a partner in the Joint Mathematics Meetings beginning with the next JMM to be held in Boston, January 4-7, 2023.

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 release.

50 Years of Number Theory and Random Matrix Theory

There will be a conference “50 years of Number Theory and Random Matrix Theory” held at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton this summer from June 21 – June 24. We have a grant from the National Science Foundation which will provide full support for at least 25 participants. We invite you to apply for funding to participate in this conference! The application form may be found at

forms.gle/4hNV3tJMGnzk68dr9

A motivation for the conference is to celebrate the conversation between Hugh Montgomery and Freeman Dyson that took place at the IAS tea room in April, 1972. During that conversation the two of them realized that the distribution of the distances between pairs of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function behaves (after rescaling) like the distribution between the differences of eigenvalues of large random Hermitian matrices.

That conversation was the beginning of a very large conversation between Number Theory and Random Matrix Theory that has been ongoing for the last 50 years.This conference will examine some of its history but will also be very forward in looking at ongoing work and the many open questions of interest to Number Theorists and Random Matrix Theorists.

A web site for the conference is at

www.ias.edu/math/events/50yntrmt

We will begin reviewing applications for support on Feb 25 and will continue until all of the places are filled.

Alexanderson Award and Lecture

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 San Jose, California, after recently moving from its original Palo Alto location.

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.
