Simple Words 2024

Math in Simple Words

Simple Words aims to make mathematical research more accessible to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, with a particular focus on helping students from underrepresented groups become more familiar with a range of mathematical fields.

Experts from fields such as mathematics, statistics, and computer science discuss their research in simple language that a first-year graduate student can follow. Unlike traditional talks focused on a single result, speakers provide a broad overview of their work while emphasizing connections to other disciplines. The goal of the series is to make advanced ideas more approachable for a wider audience.
