Reporting from Indianapolis, Indiana, the ASA’s executive director, Ron Wasserstein, shares a Statistical Moment as the city gears up for the Final Four, adding to the excitement by announcing that April is Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month.
MSAM is a time to recognize the powerful role mathematics and statistics play in shaping our world. Organized by the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics—which includes the American Statistical Association, Mathematical Association of America, American Mathematical Society, and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics—this annual celebration brings together the community to showcase the disciplines’ impact, innovation, and opportunity.
One featured activity this year is The Community Game, a board game designed to help players explore how mathematics and statistics influence everyday life—from public health to infrastructure and beyond. Watch Ron’s video to learn more. Also, explore other resources and join in celebrating the fields that help drive discovery and inform decisions. ww2.amstat.org/mathstatmonth
