How can we use mathematics to better understand music? Musician and mathematician Dmitri Tymoczko invites you to explore this topic at his hybrid lecture and performance, "The Music of Mathematics,” on Tuesday, July 28, at ICM. Don't miss it! Watch the video and order your tickets today. Link in comments. Do you use mathematics when studying music? Let us know how you do in the comments!

In “PRIMES STEP: Experimenting with Mathematical Research in Middle School,” Slava Gerovitch and Tanya Khovanova share the history of STEP and their experiences with running the program, in hopes of stimulating math research activities to inspire young mathematicians. Read it in the latest Notices of the AMS. Link in comments. Please share!

How many points inside a big circle have integer coordinates? The area of the circle is a good approximation, but what's the error? A twentieth-century conjecture says that the error should be of the same order as the square root of the radius. Can computation give us new insight? This is not obviously a difficult problem. But in over two hundred years since Carl Friedrich Gauss first posed it, there has been remarkably little progress...

On May 29, 2026, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a proposed rule, titled “Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance,” revising the entirety of federal grantmaking and federal cooperative agreements in America while allowing only a 45-day public comment period. The proposed changes would fundamentally alter the practice of science in the United States, undermining the system of peer review and international collaboration that has been central to making the U.S. a global leader in science, technology, and innovation.

From the Contemporary Mathematics series: Current Trends in Dynamical Systems, Fractal Geometry, and Their Applications, this volume contains articles based on talks given at the special session “Dynamical Systems: Statistical Properties, Spectral Theory, and Fractal Geometry” at the AMS Sectional Meeting at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The authors discuss topics at the intersection of dynamical systems, ergodic theory, fractal geometry, operator theory, and symbolic dynamics. Don’t have access?
