MSRI is one of the world’s preeminent centers for collaborative research in mathematics. Located in Berkeley, California, MSRI’s mission is to advance mathematical research, foster talent, and further the appreciation of mathematics. MSRI strives to make mathematics accessible and exciting to those outside the field through the National Math Festival, sponsorship of Numberphile (YouTube’s popular informal mathematics channel), film production for public television, and the Mathical Book Prize. 

IAS is an independent institution in Princeton, New Jersey and one of the world’s leading centers for basic research in the sciences and humanities. Scientists at IAS pursue some of the deepest theoretical questions without pressure for immediate outcomes. Its reach has been multiplied many times over through thousands of scholars who have influenced entire fields of study as well as the work and minds of colleagues and students.

MoMath allows adults and children alike to experience the evolving, creative, aesthetic, and often surprising nature of mathematics. Located in the heart of Manhattan, New York, the Museum is home to more than three dozen hands-on and engaging exhibits that showcase the fascinating world of mathematics. MoMath has also designed and implemented hundreds of innovative programs around the country including interactive presentations, math tournaments, camp programs, book discussions, movie nights, math tours, storytelling sessions, nights of comedy, mathematical concerts, and a wide variety of public outreach events.
