IMA New Directions Program

We believe that mathematics is a field of almost unlimited opportunity—provided that it looks outward towards its interfaces with other fields.

— The Odom Report

The IMA is delighted to announce New Directions Research Professorships for 2010-2011 and the New Directions Short Course in 2010. These programs offer extraordinary opportunities for the established mathematicians to branch into new directions and increase the impact of their research.
