Overview

Mission

To support mathematical research and scholarship. The Association for Mathematical Research publishes mathematical journals and a book series, awards prizes for outstanding research, publishes reviews of important results and of open problems, sponsors lectures, and maintains a website that provides information about mathematical resources.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Association launched two additional journals in advanced mathematical research in 2024. Editorial boards were formed, and their websites were organized, domains registered, and layout designs were finalized.The Journal of Open Mathematical Problems (JOMP) publishes articles about unsolved problems in all areas of mathematics. It can be found at jomprob.org.The Journal of Mathematics of Data, Learning, and Intelligence (MDLI) publishes research articles at the intersection of any branch of mathematics with data science, machine learning, or artificial intelligence. It can be found at mdlijournal.org.Four books were published in 2024.The 2024 Cohen Prize was awarded to Sren Galatius, University of Copenhagen.The 2024 Prize in the Mathematics of Artificial Intelligence was awarded to Ohad Shamir.The Association for Mathematical Research maintains a website with information about its activities, reviews of research, and links to mathematical resources, at amathr.org.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
