Collaboration is the backbone of mathematical progress. It’s also really hard. Put a group of mathematicians together and see what happens when they get near a chalkboard. Let’s just say there’s a reason coffee is a line item in most department budgets. But once the chalk dust settles, something beautiful and new can emerge.
While there's no way we could cram everything that's happened over the past 30 years into a single timeline, here's a highlight reel of the Institute's greatest hits!
From founding members, old friends, current collaborators and future mathematics stars, we asked our community what the Fields Institute means to them.
