The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), founded in 2011, is an American research institute in mathematics at Brown University, funded since 2010 by a grant from the National Science Foundation. [1]
At the time of its founding, the institute was the eighth of its kind in the nation and the first in New England. [2] It is located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island in a building it shares with the Brown University School of Public Health. [3]
The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), holds numerous events and workshops throughout the year. Workshops range from one day events all the way up to week-long conferences and conventions. [4] A notable ICERM workshop was, "Illustrating Mathematics" (2016), which brought mathematicians and digital artist together. [5]
Jonathan Michael Borwein was a Scottish mathematician who held an appointment as Laureate Professor of mathematics at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He was a close associate of David H. Bailey, and they have been prominent public advocates of experimental mathematics.
James Harris Simons was an American hedge fund manager, investor, mathematician, and philanthropist. At the time of his death, Simons' net worth was estimated to be $31.4 billion, making him the 55th-richest person in the world. He was the founder of Renaissance Technologies, a quantitative hedge fund based in East Setauket, New York. He and his fund are known to be quantitative investors, using mathematical models and algorithms to make investment gains from market inefficiencies. Due to the long-term aggregate investment returns of Renaissance and its Medallion Fund, Simons was described as the "greatest investor on Wall Street", and more specifically "the most successful hedge fund manager of all time".
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is a professional society whose mission is to encourage women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and to promote equal opportunity for and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences. The AWM was founded in 1971 and incorporated in the state of Massachusetts. AWM has approximately 5200 members, including over 250 institutional members, such as colleges, universities, institutes, and mathematical societies. It offers numerous programs and workshops to mentor women and girls in the mathematical sciences. Much of AWM's work is supported through federal grants.
Jill Catherine Pipher has served as the president of the American Mathematical Society. She began a two-year term in 2019. She is also the past president of the Association for Women in Mathematics, and she was the first director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics, an NSF-funded mathematics institute based in Providence, Rhode Island.
