AMS Other Events

AMS Response to the Crisis in Ukraine, presented by Catherine Roberts, AMS Executive Director; Wednesday, 4:25 – 5:25 pm. This recently announced session will consist of a briefing by AMS Executive Director Catherine Roberts about our societies actions in support of Ukranian scientists. AMS President Ruth Charney will also be available to address questions or issues of concern. Among its actions, AMS strongly condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A list of community efforts to help Ukrainian and other displaced mathematicians fleeing the violence is available here.

Current Events Bulletin, organized by David Eisenbud, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute; Friday, 2:00–6:00 pm. Speakers in this session follow the model of the Bourbaki Seminars in that mathematicians with strong expository skills speak on work not their own. Written versions of the talks will be available online after the conclusion of the meeting. See booklet here.

Lecture IV is supported by a generous donation from Salilesh Mukhopadhyay, in honor of Satyendra Nath Bose, Mahadev Dutta, and Pranab K. Sarkar, to bring appreciation for mathematics to a broader audience.

Mathematically Bent Theater, featuring Colin Adams and the Mobiusbandaid Players, Friday, 6:00-7:00 pm. What does it mean when someone calls you an asymptote? Why are sheaves so much funnier than linear regression? Is it true that when his teacher asked Joe Biden to add all the numbers from 1 to 100, that's what he did? These are just a few of the questions we will not answer during this theatrical presentation of several short humorous mathematically inclined pieces.
