Mathematics and music share a long, harmonious history at MAA MathFest. Sessions exploring how these two fields connect have long been a favorite among attendees. Now, this beloved theme is getting a permanent home. We are so grateful to Dr. Brian O'Connor for championing the partnership between these two fields, and we are thrilled to launch the O'Connor Colloquium on Mathematics and Music at MAA MathFest 2027 as part of MAA's robust Invited Paper Session programming.

A 5-year initiative to keep 10,000 mathematics and quantitative science students on track to graduation through just-in-time financial support. Every year, an estimated 2,000 mathematics and quantitative science majors are pushed off course just before graduation by modest, unexpected financial emergencies. The National Math Talent Fund is how we fix that. The MAA and Last...
