Key Points

  • This resolution proposes making 2026 the "Year of Math" in the United States. It aims to celebrate how math and statistics help us solve big problems in health, energy, and national defense.
  • The celebration is timed to welcome a major global meeting of mathematicians to Philadelphia in July 2026. This is a rare event that the United States has only hosted two other times in history.
  • The goal is to encourage students and teachers to get more involved in math through hands-on activities. Supporters want to help people move past the idea that math is just "tough" and show how it is used in music, games, and new technology like artificial intelligence.
  • This is a symbolic gesture and does not create new laws or spending. Instead, it recognizes that math is the foundation for many important jobs and helps the country stay competitive in science and engineering.
