Illustrating the Impact of the Mathematical Sciences
Sponsored by the NSF, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, a series of webinars and books (free PDF downloads) to illustrate the impact of the mathematical sciences. The collection of narratives and graphics prepared by ad hoc committee of experts, will be the central focus of a consensus report that broadly describes the fundamental role of the mathematical sciences in the U.S. economy, national security, health and medicine, and other science, engineering, and technology domains.
The mathematical sciences play a critical role in advancing crucial innovations and improving our prosperity, health, and security. Join us for a webinar series featuring mathematicians telling the most important stories of how math has made an impact, from precision medicine to climate science. All webinars are free to attend and will take place on Tuesdays from 3-4pm ET and will have live closed captioning.

This webinar series is part of a larger National Academies’ study that will identify and illustrate the broad impact of the mathematical sciences. Learn more by visiting the study website.
