MAA MathFest 2021 Videos

We're excited to share the videos from the 2021 MAA MathFest, our first fully-virtual conference. We encourage MAA members and MathFest attendees to watch the recordings in the MAA Member Video Library on Vimeo or on the MAA Youtube page.

At the MAA, we work every day to support our values of community, communication, inclusivity, and teaching & learning. We've organized MAA MathFest 2021 videos in four playlists named after one of these core values for you to rewatch, or watch for the first time.

Community

The Mathematical Association of America has worked to build a strong community, and this year's presenters focused on interesting topics such as "Open and Accessible Problems for Undergraduate Research" and "A New Approach for Fighting Infectious Disease, Combining Game theory and Graph Theory."

Communication

Communication is the key to success for any mathematician, and presenters discussed topics such as the "2020 Census, Lagrange's Identity, and Apportionment of the US House of Representatives" as well as "Surprising Discoveries by Amateur Mathematicians."

Inclusivity

Learn more about mathematics from a diverse group of presenters discussing topics such as the "Road to the 2002 Sonic Boom Demonstrator," "African American Women and the Mathematics of Flight," and "Women in Mathematics:
Math in Action."

Teaching & Learning

At the MAA, teaching and learning is a major driving force for all the work we do, and this year's presenters spoke to this value with topics focused on "Eigenvalues and Graphs," "Integer Programming for Kidney Exchange," and "Supporting Student Success in Introductory Statistics through Evidence-Based Practices."
