Last Call! The Annual Survey – Departmental Profile must be completed today.
This data matters. Every completed profile strengthens the accuracy, credibility, and impact of insights used across the mathematical sciences. If your department isn’t counted, it doesn’t count.
Be counted. Be represented.

The AMS is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Dr. Gladys West, an extraordinary mathematician whose work on mathematically modeling the shape of the earth led to the development of satellite geodesy models. This work was instrumental in designing modern GPS.

In “The Landau Equation and Fisher Information,” Nestor Guillen and Luis Silvestre describe their work GS25 showing that for solutions of the space-homogeneous Landau equation the Fisher information is monotone, a fact that enabled them to show smooth solutions exist for all time. Link in comments.

When we create a visualization to learn something from data, we invariably discard some portion of information in exchange for insight. From kernel density estimation to the humble histogram, we'll explore the tricky nature of parameter choice. Link in comments.
