Cards created at JMM2026
At the AMS, impact goes beyond publications, meetings, and research. Our staff shared with United Way National Capital Area why community giving matters to them and how service reflects our mission. We are proud to partner with United Way to support the communities we visit as part of #JMM2026 1/2
In January 2026, at #JMM2026, the Howard community and the National Association of Mathematicians (NAM) gathered in Washington, DC, to celebrate the program’s 50th anniversary of launching the first doctoral program in mathematics at a Historically Black College or University. Link in comments.
My featured-artist display at JMM 2026 in Washington DC. Four of the works are hanging on a zig-zag of beige, custom-cut mats, and the fifth is on three black jewelry stands. All pieces were accepted into one or more juried exhibits at JMM or Bridges in the past decade. The blue knitted wall hanging, second from the left, is the solo piece that was accepted into this year’s exhibition.
A closer view of the first two panels of the folded mat backing. The three pieces were 28 inches tall and 14, 28, and 28 inches wide, which is bigger than it sounds when you’re carrying them. On the left is Fundamental Frieze Scroll II from 2018, a tan knitted wall hanging which was the precursor for the new piece to its right. That new piece, The Fundamentals of Lace, is knitted in blue on smaller needles but is both wider and taller than the older work. Both wall hangings are composed of the same fundamental region, a small lace motif in a lambda or Y shape, and both have colored beads embedded in the fabric to mark the symmetries. For more details, go to the following post for the online catalog links.
A close up of the rightmost mat panel and the jewelry set. As before, for more details you can follow the catalog links in the following posts. The last mat panel has two knitting wall hangings suspended from pins at the top of the panel. To the left is Float Free, Bumblebee, a wall hanging in two-color mosaic knitting with yellow and black yarn. Like the two pieces in the previous photo, the knitted fabric is rectangular and lashed to dowels at the top and bottom. The fabric is divided into horizontal and vertical strips with different repeating abstract designs. On the right of the mat is Redistribution, a wall hanging that has the overall shape of an hourglass whose top segment is shorter than the bottom segment. The upper portion is fan-shaped, with a network of dark purple stitches over a background of pale green stitches. The lower portion is flared like a trumpet and juts away from the wall, with a network of light purple stitches on a background of dark green. To the right of the folding backdrop is Map Coloring Jewelry Set, the oldest artwork in this display. A bead crocheted necklace with pendant, a bead crocheted bracelet, and bead woven earrings in eight matte colors with gold accents hang on a black necklace form and black bracelet and earring stands. This jewelry set won a prize in the JMM 2015 exhibit, and now and then, I still wear it.

This year, the math art exhibition at the Joint Mathematics Meetings invited me to be a featured artist, giving me the chance to assemble this mini-retrospective of my knitted and beaded work. Links to the catalog entries are in the following posts.

Hey I think it’s good to tag #ICM2026 and also #JMM2026 and @amsmath.bsky.social. Anyone knows how to tag IMU?
Hey math friends at #JMM2026 who are going to Capitol Hill tomorrow: maybe don't just talk about math. Ask your reps what they will be doing to stop the fascist federal law enforcement agencies from continuing to murder people on the streets. #disruptMath #disruptJMM
@typst.app got a mention at the special session on applied category theory at #jmm2026 today. One of the presentations was beautifully rendered in it.
I’ve played around with it only a bit but can attest to the fact that is amazing (and concise).

It's been a great week with #MathSky at the #JMM2026! Thanks to everyone in the community who joined us last night at our reception, and let's continue the conversation online at the code4math.org Zulip!
Two amazing poster sessions for undergraduate students took place yesterday at #JMM2026. Over 400 students delivered poster presentations based on original research. The future of mathematics was on full display - and it looks bright! Thank you to all who presented and to the reviewers.
