Joint Mathematics Meetings

{{Short description|Annual mathematics conference hosted by the MAA and the AMS}}

The Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) is a mathematics conference hosted annually in early January by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Frequently, several other national mathematics organizations also participate. From 1998 to 2020, the JMM was jointly organized and managed by the AMS and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).{{cite web|title=MAA and the Joint Mathematics Meetings|url=https://maa.org/news/maa-and-the-joint-mathematics-meetings|website=Mathematical Association of America|publisher=MAA|accessdate=3 February 2024}}

The meeting is the largest gathering of mathematicians in the United States, and the largest annual meeting of mathematicians in the world.{{cite web|title=Joint Mathematics Meetings|url=https://www.jointmathematicsmeetings.org/|website=Joint Mathematics Meetings|publisher=AMS|accessdate=3 February 2024}} For example, more than 6000 people attended the 2017 JMM.{{cite web|title=Photos from the 2017 Joint Mathematics Meetings|url=https://www.ams.org/meetings/national/jmm2017-highlights|website=American Mathematical Society|publisher=AMS|accessdate=3 February 2024}} Several thousand talks, panels, minicourses, and poster sessions are held each year.

The JMM also hosts an Employment Center, which is a focal point for the hiring process of academic mathematicians, especially for liberal arts colleges. Many employers conduct their preliminary interview process at the meeting.{{cite web|title=AMS Employment Center|url=https://www.ams.org/profession/employment-services/employment-center/employment-center|accessdate=3 February 2024|publisher=AMS}} Often these interviews take place outside the confines of the conference, so the employers may not appear on the official Employment Center listing.
