The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), founded in 2011, is an American research institute in mathematics at Brown University, funded since 2010 by a grant from the National Science Foundation.^[1]

About

At the time of its founding, the institute was the eighth of its kind in the nation and the first in New England.^[2] It is located in downtown Providence, Rhode Island in a building it shares with the Brown University School of Public Health.^[3]

The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), hold numerous events and workshops throughout the year. Workshops range from one day events all the way up to week-long conferences and conventions.^[4] A notable ICERM workshop was, "Illustrating Mathematics" (2016), which brought mathematicians and digital artist together.^[5]

Directors of ICERM

Jill Pipher (2011–2016)
Brendan Hassett (2016–present)
