COVID-19 and mathematics

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed modern society worldwide – and in particular, the way we work.

There is an almost universal temporary ban on international travel. As a consequence, numerous congresses, conferences, scientific meetings, and workshops have either been cancelled or postponed. Thus the traditional arena for exchanging ideas has come to a halt. However, many groups are utilizing modern technological solutions to offer online seminars in which we can all participate.

The spread of infectious diseases has also long been studied by mathematicians. Here we provide a few links to both current resources and recent activities in the field.

If you know about any further activities that should be included on this webpage, please email us at corona@mathunion.org

We retain the right to refuse to include – as well as to subsequently remove – any link.
