This month, we celebrate Math ∪ Stats Awareness! IPAM is proud to be part of a community that brings together ideas and people across fields.
#PureMathematics #AppliedMathematics #Statistics #StatsAwarenessMonth #MathAwarenessMonth #STEM.
Pure or Applied?
A simple question with very different perspectives.
We asked @ipamucla.bsky.social staff and participants to share their choice and reasoning.
Where do you stand?

Happy first day of spring 🌿
As Sofia Kovalevskaya reminds us, it is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul.
Here’s to a season of fresh ideas, collaboration, and creativity in the mathematical sciences.
