@HarvardMath
The Department of Mathematics at Harvard University is one of the world's leading departments for research and education in pure mathematics. #harvardmath
- Enjoy this short film about #HarvardMath and @HarvardCMSA! Created for the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2026, films like this present some of the best work done in mathematics today, the impact it has, and the community behind it.
- A little bit of math history! Mathematical texts from a Maya site in Guatemala identify an astronomer called Sak Tahn Waax—or ‘White-Chested Fox’—a scholar comparable with mathematical giants of the past.
- Listen to #harvardmath professor Lauren Williams tell the story of how studying a fundamental object in algebraic combinatorics led to a career full of surprises!What links certain mathematical models of traffic flow, shallow-water waves, and quantum particle scattering? Tune in to this week’s episode of The Joy of Why with co-host @stevenstrogatz: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wha…
- The organizers of project "First Batch"—a novel experiment to independently test AI’s ability to solve tough math problems—bring a formalized structure, more transparency, and more controls for the next round, dubbed "First Proof, Second Batch." current.fas.harvard.edu/stories/first-…
