Celebrate the "Year of Math"

     A Congressional Resolution declaring 2026 as a Year of Math in the U.S. was introduced in the Senate (on 12/18/2025) by its co-sponsors, Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R,WV) and John Hickenlooper (D, CO), and in the House (on 3/92/2026) by its co-sponsors, Representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D, PA-6) and Jay Obernolte (R, CA-23). We deeply appreciate that this is a bipartisan effort in both chambers.

Each of the Senate and the House resolved that it: 

(1) expresses support for the declaration of a “Year of Math” in the United States;

(2) celebrates the United States being selected as host of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2026 and using this platform to increase the visibility of mathematical sciences as fields of study and to communicate the myriad benefits of education in mathematics and statistics;

(3) recognizes that mathematics underpins all of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines, which are critical to the national security and economic prosperity of the United States; and

(4) celebrates the role that mathematics and statistics play in the everyday lives of all people of the United States, including in technology, news, games, literature, and music.

I found no evidence that the Resolution was passed, but I found this webpage  YEAR OF MATH 2026 which offers descriptions (with links) of a variety of mathy activities and programs.

         I did, also, revisit this website with lots of mathy poems -- here at MoreThanMaths.com I found these entertaining lines: 

Mathematics is a language that crosses national borders and unites us!

Speak mathematics!!
