Harvard Math Community

This is a place to explore the many ways of experiencing mathematics and to learn about the many kinds of people that do so. Our aspiration is that the writings and resources here have something to offer everyone, that they will enhance the experience of mathematics for all of us, and help us to better understand the experiences of others.
