Apr 18, 2026: Math Explorers Club (April 18, 2026 and April 25, 2026) at Malott Hall

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

With support from the National Science Foundation, graduate students have developed a collection of more than 40 mathematics modules that cover a wide variety of topics accessible to middle- and high-school students. We implement one or two of these modules on the Cornell campus each semester in what we call the “Math Explorers' Club.” The goal of the Math Explorers' Club is to introduce new mathematical concepts and problem solving strategies to grades 8-12 students who will, in turn, communicate their new knowledge in public forums (i.e., through posters and/or presentations). For more information go to Math Explorers Club.

There are two Saturday MEC Modules this spring, which will be held on April 18th and April 25th.

Go to MEC Registration to register. The registration closing date is April 13, 2026.

The Kieval Lecture Series is funded through a bequest of the late Dr. Harry S. Kieval ’36, a longtime professor of mathematics at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, who died in 1994. In addition to this lecture series, his estate provides funding to Cornell University for a similar lecture in physics, as well as annual prizes awarded to outstanding seniors in both mathematics and physics.

Lecture is at 4:00 p.m. in 251 Malott Hall
There will be a small reception from 3:30-4:00 in 532 Malott Hall
Speaker: Richard Stanley, MIT

61st Annual Cornell Topology Festival
May 1 - May 3, 2026

You are cordially invited to the 61st annual Cornell Topology Festival, which will be held in Ithaca, Friday May 1 – Sunday May 3, 2026. The program will have an emphasis on the topic of Degenerations and Moduli Spaces, will feature several one-hour talks, and will offer much opportunity for conversation. The meeting will begin with workshop talks aimed at introducing some of the main themes of the conference. The invited speakers will also participate in a panel discussion on recent developments in topology and related fields. Social activities will include two working luncheons and a picnic.
