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

Classes are over and reading period has begun, but we hope our students don't forget to take a break and smell the spring flowers! It's a perfect day to crack open a book underneath a flowering tree. #harvardmath #springtime

From evolutionary biology to physics, mathematics to genomics, major unanswered questions keep even the most advanced researchers up at night. For math professor Melanie Matchett Wood, that question is: "How are prime numbers distributed among integers?" news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

"The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ability of LLMs to perform mathematical research." scientificamerican.com/article/first-…

The Science Center courtyard is a winter wonderland right now! But are you familiar with the math behind snowflakes? From exploring hexagonal symmetry to understanding fractal geometry and self-similarity, snowflakes are a visual representation of abstract mathematical ideas.
