This national celebration and campaign aims to reignite America’s appreciation for mathematics. By targeting a broad, nationwide audience, the initiative engages people to experience the beauty, relevance, and potential of math in profound ways. The Year of Math invites individuals of all backgrounds to explore the subject without fear of judgment or failure.

Year of Math Congressional Resolution
The Congressional Resolution declaring 2026 as a Year of Math in the U.S. has now been introduced in the Senate by its co-sponsors, Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R,WV) and John Hickenlooper (D, CO), and in the House by its co-sponsors, Representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D, PA-6) and Jay Obernolte (R, CA-23). We deeply appreciate that this is a bipartisan effort in both chambers.
