SWIM 2025

Summer Workshop for Intrepid Mathematicians

The Summer Workshop for Intrepid Mathematicians (SWIM) consists of a series of accessible talks given mostly by young students and enthusiasts (high schoolers, undergraduates, and first-year graduate students). In these talks, the speakers not only have the opportunity to present and disseminate their math research but also to meet with the organizers to create and practice their presentations as well as learn how to deliver an articulate talk. All participants not only have the opportunity to be inspired by the mathematics presented in the talks but are also introduced to active research areas while gaining access to current open problems (often presented by some of the organizers).

SWIM takes place remotely (via Zoom), and the talks are scheduled during the last six weeks of summer (right before the beginning of the new academic year).


Announcement Announcements

CrowdMath 2025

We are excited to announce the start of CrowdMath 2025 (Fall Term)!

CrowdMath is a large-scale online collaborative research project that gives high school and college students the chance to work together on open mathematical problems. Participants collaborate in real time, sharing ideas, and building on each other’s work in a true mathematical community.

This fall, CrowdMath continues its tradition of engaging students in accessible and interesting open research questions, fostering collaboration among young math enthusiasts around the world.
