Nov. 3, 2021. Toronto, ON – The Fields Institute is proud to announce that the American Mathematical Society has named V. Kumar Murty as one of its 2022 Class of Fellows of the AMS. Now in its tenth year, the Fellows are selected annually by the mathematical society to honour outstanding contributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics.
The brief, which was published on October 8, 2021, aims to understand overall vaccine confidence in the province.
On Friday, September 10, Fields hosted a panel discussion geared toward parents, students, teachers, school administrators and staff. The intent was to address fears, anxieties and concerns over the return to the classroom, particularly in light of the highly transmissible Delta variant, and to provide tips on how to minimize the risk of infection.
The Fields Institute has partnered with RIWI, a third-party survey company that uses a unique methodology to reach the broadest possible set of potential survey respondents continuously, drawing on populations otherwise not included in data collection. We are working to understand attitudes toward public health guideline uptake in Ontario during the pandemic. We collected data on a continuous basis from December 2020 to June 2021 and reached a pool of over 80,000 respondents. The report below is the first in our series of efforts to build an accurate picture of how Ontarians are choosing to interact with public health measures, such as masking and physical distancing, in an attempt to help minimize the current fourth wave.
Behind the Numbers is our video series that takes you behind the mathematics in some of the everyday calculations that impact our lives.
