2013 ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Colleagues,

Being president of the American Mathematical Society is a remarkable experience. From the staff in Providence, Ann Arbor, and Washington, to the dedicated volunteers who participate in AMS governance and in editing its books and journals, to the people I encounter at the Society's international, national, and sectional meetings, I have seen a true community working constantly for mathematics and for mathematicians. These pages will give you a chance to experience for yourself the Society's efforts

Photo by Bryce Vickmark by BrycePhoto Vickmark in the past year and to get a sense of the volunteers and staff behind these efforts. David A. Vogan, Jr. Whether it's the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings—which have been held for Massachusetts Institute of Technology over a century—or our new Student Chapters—which began just last year—the AMS President, 2013–2014 AMS is in the business of helping mathematicians in all aspects and phases of their careers. In this report you'll see the results of people connecting in various ways, for the Society is also about building and supporting connections. This is only fitting, because mathematics itself is often about making connections: about under- standing that two apparently unrelated things may make the most sense when they are seen together. The AMS Bylaws impose on the president a single requirement: to give a retiring presidential address. Early next year my successor, Robert Bryant of Duke University, the former director of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, will assume the presidency, so that I can devote full attention to preparing such an address. It has been a pleasure to begin working with Robert this year; I have the highest confidence in his ability to lead the AMS. I invite you to read further and learn about our accomplishments that took place in the past year; better yet, to see where you can participate in the year to come! Sincerely,

David A. Vogan, Jr. AMS President, 2013-2014 INTRODUCTION

In July, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) invited Mark Green, Chair of the AMS Board of Trustees, and Eric Friedlander, Immediate Past President, to deliver presentations to a public meeting of PCAST at the National Academy of Sciences. Mark and Eric described initiatives of members of the mathematics community to improve the experience of students from mathematics-intensive disciplines in the math courses they must master in the early college years. The presentations were very well received. Mark and Eric are both among a group of six leaders of an initiative known as TPSE Math—Transforming Post-Secondary Education in Mathematics. At the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore, the Committee on Education and Committee on Science Policy organized a panel on The Public Face of Mathematics.

ANNUAL REPORT, 2013 AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY 5 FINANCIAL REVIEW

2013 Financial Review

The American Mathematical Society experienced a gain of $1.2 million in net operating income in 2013. With these operating results, the Society has experienced a positive net income for 23 years. In addition, the Society’s unrestricted net assets increased by $17.8 million, primarily due to a 22.5% return on the long-term investments.

The Society experienced a decrease in publishing revenues of approximately $440,000 between 2012 and 2013, because of a 25% decline in the number of books published. In addition, the Society ended the publication of the printed version of the Mathematical Reviews database, which decreased subscription sales by 5%. Although revenues declined in 2013, growth is expected in future years due to new sources of revenues, such as electronic publishing products. The following chart shows the sources of revenues from the Society’s operations:

Expenses increased between 2012 and 2013 by about $800,000 or 3%. Contracted services expense, travel costs, and equipment costs were the major contributors to the increase in expenses. Personnel costs rose by only 1% due to a reduction in force in the second half of 2012. The Society

has maintained good cost controls for many years, ensuring a stable net operating income for more than two decades.

Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department - 2013 Mathematics Department at the University of Texas at Arlington Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The American Mathematical Society works in many ways to foster a vibrant environment for mathematicians. Programs and services that directly improve scholarship and professional life have substantial impact.

You, our members and friends, make this work possible through your generosity. The Society celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2013, and in concordance, many of you directed your philanthropic resources toward the AMS. Your donations promoted excellence in research via the Centennial Fellowship and other prizes and awards; they ensured that young mathematicians participated in camps that fed their eagerness for mathematics; they supported graduate for making a concerted and highly successful effort over the students as they took crucial steps early in their careers and they enabled ac- last decade to build a doctoral program whose composition cess to MathSciNet across the globe, assisting mathematicians in developing reflects the demographics of our increasingly diverse nation. countries.

“Doing mathematics depends on connections like Paul Sally and like Carla Savage- on people whom you've known most of your life, and on people you just met whom you're going to know for most of your life. The AMS has always been about building and supporting those connections. That happens in ways like the annual Meetings that are 120 years old, in Mathematics Research Communities that are six years old, and in Student Chapters that are just starting.” – David A. Vogan, Jr., President
