Georgia Benkart: 1947-2022

Georgia Benkart, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at UW-Madison and a member of the AIM Scientific Research Board, died unexpectedly on April 29, 2022, in Madison, Wisconsin. She will be missed by her colleagues and students and left a lasting legacy of research accomplishments. In 1974 she began her career at UW-Madison after receiving her PhD from Yale. She served the mathematical community in many roles–among them as President of the Association of Women in Mathematics (2009-2011), Associate Secretary of the AMS (2010-2022), and as a member of the AIM Scientific Research Board (2016-2022). For a more detailed account of her life and mathematics see the memorial tribute and remembrances from the UW-Madison math department.

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.

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 moving from its original Palo Alto location in 2015.

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.
