Alexanderson Award Ceremony and Lecture: October 4, 2019

Abstract of the lecture by Jordan Ellenberg: Among the most fundamental tasks of mathematics, or science more generally, is to classify in order to understand what kinds of things there are in the world. And a particularly satisfying form of classification is when we can show that every complicated thing is built out of a much smaller set of simpler things. In chemistry we get this satisfaction from the periodic table; in mathematics we find it just about everywhere, from numbers to polynomials to curved surfaces to the work of the Alexanderson prize winners. I’ll give a tour of some of these “periodic tables” of mathematics and talk about the surprising relationship between them.

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.
